Iteration 113 ship log

2026-05-14 · push mode, 60 min cadence, FAQ audit iter

Date: 2026-05-14 (push mode, 60 min cadence, FAQ audit iter)

What shipped (2 substantive ships + 1 audit-discovery)

This iter built the FAQ quality audit. Result: 229/247 FAQ pages clean, 18 with issues. 8 of those have ZERO questions (empty placeholder pages).

Ship 1: audit-faq-quality.py - new audit class

Built audit-faq-quality.py (~100 lines). For each /builds/<slug>/faq/index.html:

• Verifies WD_FAQ_TEMPLATE_v1 marker present
• Title contains product name
• At least 8 question elements (h3/details/summary/.faq-q class)

Result: 247 scanned -> 229 clean, 18 issues, 1 missing

• 18 lack the template marker (hand-written FAQs)
• 8 of those also have ZERO questions (empty placeholder pages): api-gateway-ai, church-ai, code-review-ai, content-calendar-ai, copywriting-ai, handoff-ai, tutor-ai, video-ai
• 2 have title-no-product (rebrands: contract-ai -> "Inkwell", rekinder-score -> "RekinderScore")

Cron: every 30 min at :37

Audit-discovery: 8 FAQ pages have zero questions

The 8 zero-question FAQ pages are buyer-touching surfaces with empty content. A buyer landing on /factory/builds/api-gateway-ai/faq/ gets a styled page with no actual FAQ entries. This is a real conversion-leak.

For the Director or Wes: these 8 slugs need FAQ regeneration. The faq-template-gen.py cron should be re-run on them specifically. Listing for action:

• api-gateway-ai
• church-ai
• code-review-ai
• content-calendar-ai
• copywriting-ai
• handoff-ai
• tutor-ai
• video-ai

The remaining 10 hand-written FAQs (catering-ai, coach-ai, lead-router, pharmacy-ai, press-ai, referral-engine-ai, restaurant-ai, sc-warm-signal-enrichment, plus the 2 rebrands) are likely fine - they just don't have the template marker because they're hand-curated.

Ship 2: /quality-report/ wired + invariant #17

Patched regen-quality-report.py with:

• New helper latest_faq_quality()
• New card: "FAQ quality 229/247 - 18 need attention" (warn class)
• New audit-table row
• New content invariant #17

Live-check card count: 10 -> 11. Total content invariants: 16 -> 17.

Iter 113 throughput note

2 substantive ships + 1 audit-discovery at 60-min cadence. The audit caught 8 buyer-touching FAQ pages with ZERO questions - a real conversion leak now publicly surfaced and Wes-actionable.

Running queue (top 5 for iter 114)

1. Trigger faq-template-gen.py rerun on the 8 zero-question slugs - small remediation
2. Cross-link /own/ from /factory/catalog/ cards (still pending)
3. Audit /factory/unlock/<slug>/ content quality (page-identity covers identity; content audit would catch missing tagline / score / etc.)
4. Cadence-validate 60 min
5. 13th essay - skip until queue has fresh candidate

Cumulative iter 1-113

• Catalog: 246 scored + 2 partial, 246 with index.html
• Content library: 12 essays + Read-next + 273 OG PNGs + 113 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

The catalog's content audits are now comprehensive across the buyer journey: teaser (247/247 clean), case-studies (239/247 with 8 fabrication-style issues iter 112), FAQ (229/247 with 18 empty-or-handwritten iter 113). Two real Wes-task lists are surfaced: case-studies hand-rewrites and FAQ regen on 8 empty pages.
