Infrastructure built. Commercial hypothesis open.

The implementation supports an end-to-end Stripe test-mode pilot, pending launch-environment acceptance. It cannot yet support the claim that a disclosed source placement reliably changes an answer-engine response.

Product evidence map

What we can prove—and what the pilot must learn

No illustrative traffic claims

  1. 01 / built

    Verified request

    Identify the crawler from vendor-backed network evidence, not a forgeable user-agent alone.

  2. 02 / built

    Disclosed insertion

    Bind the reviewed claim, destination, price and publisher to a traceable event.

  3. 03 / built

    Money movement

    Prepay, settle balanced books, and make publisher payouts through Stripe Connect.

  4. 04 / validating

    Answer surfacing

    Measure whether an engine carries the sourced, disclosed claim into an answer. No outcome is guaranteed.

Built and tested offline

What can the system do today?

  • Verify tenants and sites, then separate site identity from platform edge attestation.
  • Identify eligible crawlers and preserve fail-open origin delivery.
  • Review campaigns and enforce prepaid budgets.
  • Create Stripe Checkout, Connect, refund and payout operations.
  • Record insertion, referral and settlement evidence with tenant isolation.

Still requires real-world evidence

What has not been proven?

  • The efficacy experiment has not run against real answer engines.
  • No public claim can promise surfacing, citation or incremental referrals.
  • Real Postgres, Stripe test mode, SES and managed-host DNS still need launch-environment acceptance.
  • Live Stripe credentials remain technically rejected until EFFICACY_VERDICT=go.

Go criterion

What changes the verdict?

The predeclared efficacy experiment compares control, organic mention and disclosed sponsored mention across categories and placements. Independent answer probes score surfacing, disclosure carry-through and citations. Only a recorded passing verdict unlocks live Stripe keys; marketing language changes only after the same evidence exists.

Until then, the website says “test,” the API says “hold,” and the commercial process starts in Stripe test mode.

Invite-only pilot

Run the evidence-generating pilot.

We are selecting a small set of US publishers and advertisers for a test-mode-first pilot. Every request is reviewed by a person.
