# Wishdeal Factory buyer-path - iteration 115 ship log

**Date:** 2026-05-14 (push mode, 60 min cadence, /own/ catalog cross-link iter)

## What shipped (1 substantive ship)

This iter completes the /own/ discoverability arc by surfacing the "available to own" tier on every catalog card. Every catalog visitor now sees the third revenue path inline with the unlock + adopt CTAs.

## Ship 1: /factory/catalog/ cards now link to /own/

The catalog is the highest-traffic surface in the buyer path. Before iter 115, each card had:
- "View build" (cta-secondary) -> /builds/<slug>/
- "Unlock dossier $5" (cta-primary) -> /unlock/<slug>/

But NO link to /own/<slug>/ - the white-label acquisition tier. A buyer comparing 246 products on the catalog page had to navigate to /honest/, /start-here/, or /methodology/ to learn /own/ existed at all.

**Patch:** Added a tertiary "Also available to own ->" link to each catalog card. Source-fixed in regen-catalog-v2.py:
- New CSS: `.card-own-link` - small (0.78rem), monospace, ink-mute color, gold-on-hover
- New link inserted AFTER the .card-cta div, INSIDE the card
- Style is deliberately subtle - doesn\'t compete with the primary $5 unlock CTA

**Result:** 246 product cards regenerated. Verified live - each card has the new link pointing to /factory/own/<slug>/.

**Visual hierarchy preserved:**
1. Product name + Adoptability score (top)
2. Tagline + meta (middle)
3. Badges + audio (lower middle)
4. CTAs: "View build" + "Unlock dossier $5" (primary actions)
5. **"Also available to own →" (subtle tertiary)** - NEW iter 115

## /own/ discoverability now complete

| Entry surface | Mechanism | Iter |
|---|---|---|
| /honest/ | 4th "Who should buy" checklist | 108 |
| /start-here/ | 5th tier card | 109 |
| /methodology/ | commissioned-build FAQ callout | 109 |
| **/catalog/ (each of 246 cards)** | **tertiary link** | **115** |
| /storefront/ | (original primary link) | n/a |
| /builds/index.html | (original) | n/a |

Every meaningful buyer-entry surface now surfaces /own/. The acquisition path is no longer hidden.

## Health hygiene (Op rule 5)

- **audit-adoptability-drift**: 246 matched
- **audit-page-identity**: 2456 ok / 4 weak / 0 mismatch (10 surfaces)
- **audit-hero-polish-drift**: 177/177
- **audit-og-coverage**: 246/246
- **audit-teaser-quality**: 247/247 clean

## Status snapshot

- 246 scored products + 2 partial builds
- 246 build pages + 246 /own/ + 247 day-one + 247 operator + 247 teasers + 246 case-studies + 246 FAQs
- 0 fake-proof findings; 8 case-studies + 2 FAQs in warn state
- 247 brand briefs with valid archetype
- 12 essays + Read-next + JSON-LD
- 8 high-trust pages with JSON-LD durable
- /factory/catalog/ with CollectionPage + 246-item ItemList
- **246 catalog cards now link to /own/<slug>/** (NEW iter 115)
- 273 OG PNG images
- 5 transparency surfaces + 115 styled ship-log detail pages
- /quality-report/ surfaces 11 live-check cards
- 17 content invariants defended
- 9 audit systems
- 77/77 health endpoints, 140+ cron jobs
- 60 min cadence active

## Iter 115 throughput note

1 substantive ship at 60-min cadence. The catalog-card cross-link is high-leverage: it converts a 5th tier that was hidden behind 3 high-trust pages into a tier visible from EVERY product card on the highest-traffic surface.

## Running queue (top 5 for iter 116)

1. **Audit /factory/unlock/<slug>/ content quality** - page-identity covers identity; content-quality would catch missing tagline/score/cta-text
2. **Wes-task: 8 case-studies fabrication issues** - still open from iter 112
3. **Investigate 2 FAQ rebrand cases** - contract-ai/Inkwell + rekinder-score/RekinderScore. Could allow brand-rename audit pass via brand brief.
4. **Cadence-validate 60 min** - iter 113/114/115 each 1-3 ships
5. **13th essay** - skip until queue has fresh candidate

## Cumulative iter 1-115

- **Catalog**: 246 scored + 2 partial, 246 with index.html, all cards link /own/
- **Content library**: 12 essays + Read-next + 273 OG PNGs + 115 styled ship-log pages
- **High-trust pages**: 8 foundational + 5 transparency surfaces
- **Audit infrastructure**: 9 audit systems + 10-surface page-identity coverage
- **Source durability**: 28+ generators + 6 regen scripts auto-call injectors + 8 JSON snapshots + 140+ cron jobs
- **Content invariants**: 17 defended at surface+source AND publicly surfaced
- **/own/ discoverability**: 5 entry surfaces (catalog, honest, start-here, methodology, storefront)

The /own/ acquisition tier is now fully surfaced across the catalog. A buyer comparing products sees three revenue paths inline (view, unlock, own) without leaving the page.
