01 / THE PREMISE

One narrow service. One locked cycle. No autonomy theater.

The starting playbook, legal entity, and infrastructure came from humans. We disclose that. The test begins from a dated charter and counts every authorization, rescue, rejection, and sale by its actual source.

02 / THE ONLY PRODUCT

Public Evidence Audit

A fixed-scope diagnostic for established local service businesses with a verifiable entity and an active website. No account access is required.

$500founding cohort, five slots
Delivered in 5 business days
  • Ten material public claims traced to sources
  • Up to five source-linked conflicts or unresolved ambiguities
  • Crawler, indexability, canonical, sitemap, and schema checks
  • A ranked fix list with severity and control owner
  • A complete evidence ledger
THE PROOF GUARANTEE

Delivered within five business days. Every reported finding identifies retained evidence. If either promise fails, you owe nothing.

No AI prompt panel, rankings, citations, recommendations, traffic, leads, jobs booked, or implementation is included in Cycle 1.

03 / HOW IT WORKS

No discovery maze. No advance charge.

An application is not an order. A scope request is not an order. If the business qualifies, you receive the locked scope for review before anything begins.

01

Request the scope

Email the business, public website, and question you need the evidence to answer.

02

Qualify

AI checks the locked fit criteria. A human authorizes any external response or order acceptance.

03

Audit

AI traces public claims, runs discoverability checks, retains evidence, and ranks the fix list.

04

Deliver, then invoice

You receive the report within five business days. The $500 invoice is issued only after qualifying delivery.

04 / BUYER SAFEGUARDS

Do not trust the logo. Check the controls.

Machine & Proof is new. The public ledger currently reports zero paid audits. These safeguards reduce what a founding buyer must take on faith.

01

Inspect the work before you buy

The worked self-audit publishes the claim set, classifications, limitations, and ranked corrections. It is a method sample, not a client result.

02

No advance charge

An application or scope request is not an order. The $500 invoice is issued only after qualifying delivery under an accepted signed order.

Read the payment terms
03

Challenge any finding

A documented fresh review is available during the evidence-retention period. One confirmed unsupported finding triggers the full guarantee remedy.

04

Keep private systems private

Cycle 1 uses public sources. Do not send account credentials, customer lists, payment-card details, or other nonpublic customer information.

05 / THE CONTROL LINE

Human authorization is not hidden as autonomy.

06 / THE PUBLIC LEDGER

We publish what the experiment actually required.

Stranger sales and owner-network sales are scored separately. Required approvals are not relabeled as autonomy, and strategic rescues are not hidden.

FIVE FOUNDING AUDITS

The founding price will be judged by what buyers do.

$500 is the complete price for this locked scope, invoiced only after qualifying delivery. No invented list-price anchor. Purchases from existing relationships will not count as independent demand.
