What shipped (2 substantive ships)

This iter built audit-pricing-content.py + wired into /quality-report/ as invariant #21. Result: 232/248 pricing pages clean, 16 in warn (legitimate quality issues surfaced).

Ship 1: audit-pricing-content.py - new audit class (13th audit)

Built audit-pricing-content.py (~135 lines). For each /factory/builds/<slug>/pricing/index.html, verifies:

• Title contains product name (with brand-rename + AI-suffix-stripped + space-stripped support)
• At least 2 distinct $-amounts visible (tiered pricing minimum)
• At least one /factory/ CTA link present
• Substantial page size (>=3KB)

Template-agnostic design: 4 different pricing layouts exist across the catalog (.tier newer, .card, .card.featured, .pricing-card older, plus bare custom for aiops-ai). Instead of coupling to template markers, the audit checks for semantic content (visible $-amounts, factory links). This means the audit survives any future template change.

Includes brand_brief_name helper (extended with title-compact / name-compact / AI-suffix-stripped variants).

Result on first run: 248 scanned -> 232 clean, 16 in warn state.

The 16 warn cases break down into two real quality classes:

• 8 too-few-prices: pricing pages with 0 or 1 explicit $-amounts (only Free + Custom tiers). Affected: expense-management-ai, rental-ai, contractor-ai, discovery-call-ai, feedback-widget, pitch-ai, shift-ai, voice-sales-coach-ai.
• 8 title-no-product: pricing page title was generated with a different product name than what's currently in adoptability.json or brand brief (renamed-since-generation drift). Affected: pseudocode-to-typescript-translator-that-learns-yo (Code Morph), repo-scanner (Shipcheck), tax-planning-ai (TaxPlan), project-mgmt-ai (Project Management AI), white-label-linkedin-campaign-analytics-dashboard (ResaleDash), white-label-sub-account-reseller-portal-for-proxyb (ProxyResell), sc-campaign-briefing-video (Campaign Briefing Video), agency-compliance-automation (Compliance Automation for Agencies).

These are not audit bugs - they are genuine product-page quality issues the audit is correctly surfacing. Wes-task: reconcile or accept.

Ship 2: /quality-report/ wired + invariant #21

Patched regen-quality-report.py with:

• New helper latest_pricing_content_quality()
• New card: "Pricing page quality 232/248 - 16 need attention" (warn state)
• New audit-table row describing template-agnostic semantic checks
• New content invariant #21

Live-check card count: 14 -> 15. Total content invariants: 20 -> 21.

Health hygiene (Op rule 5)

• audit-pricing-content: 232/248 (16 Wes-task warn, real quality issues)
• All 12 prior audits unchanged: feedback/teaser/unlock/adopt/FAQ 247/247, case-studies 239/247 (8 Wes-task)
• The audit suite has graduated from "all clean" to "surface real issues" - which is the point.

Status snapshot

• 0 fake-proof findings; 24 total warn (8 case-studies, 8 pricing too-few-prices, 8 pricing title-drift)
• 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 cards link /own/

• /quality-report/ surfaces 15 live-check cards
• 21 content invariants defended
• 13 audit systems operational
• 77/77 health endpoints, 144+ cron jobs
• 60 min cadence active

Iter 121 throughput note

2 substantive ships at 60-min cadence. The audit suite has now reached maturity threshold: it catches real issues rather than false positives. The 16 pricing-page warnings are exactly the kind of drift a buyer-touching audit should surface.

Running queue (top 5 for iter 122)

1. Wes-task: 16 pricing-page issues (8 too-few-prices, 8 title-drift) - reconcile or accept
2. Wes-task: 8 case-studies fabrications - still the only other warn state
3. Audit /factory/builds/<slug>/vs/ content quality - 245 vs-comparison pages (only page-identity covers)
4. Audit /factory/builds/<slug>/how-it-works/ content quality - explainer pages
5. Audit /factory/builds/<slug>/sales-kit/ content quality - outreach assets

Cumulative iter 1-121

• Catalog: 246 scored + 2 partial, 246 with index.html, all cards link /own/
• Content library: 12 essays + Read-next + 273 OG PNGs + 121 styled ship-log pages
• High-trust pages: 8 foundational + 5 transparency surfaces
• Audit infrastructure: 13 audit systems + 10-surface page-identity + brand-rename support on 6 audits + template-agnostic pricing audit
• Source durability: 31+ generators + 6 regen scripts auto-call injectors + 12 JSON snapshots + 144+ cron jobs
• Content invariants: 21 defended at surface+source AND publicly surfaced

The pricing audit's template-agnostic design (semantic-content checks over template markers) is a pattern worth keeping. As the factory evolves and templates change, semantic audits stay valid. Audit infrastructure is now genuinely robust against future template drift.
