What shipped

This iteration was a cross-cutting QA + nav consistency pass across the entire per-product subpage surface. Iter 25 fixed the unlock generator; iter 26 fixed the rest.

Cross-cutting fixes (impact: ~1500 pages)

New: top utility-bar injector

/builds/<slug>/ pages had no top nav at all. A buyer landing from search had no way to navigate to the catalog or FAQ. Fixed by injecting a small dark utility bar at the top of every builds page with:

Lightweight, dark palette, doesn't conflict with the per-product brand identity below it. Marker-bracketed (WD_TOP_UTIL_BAR_v1) so re-runs are idempotent and the block can be updated atomically.

Cron

Added 40 cron entry for the utility-bar injector. New products that ship will pick up the bar within an hour.

Why this matters

The biggest architectural problem before iter 26: /builds/<slug>/ pages had no top nav. They're the most-trafficked product pages - when Google indexes them and a prospective buyer clicks through from search, they should immediately see the path forward (catalog, pricing, FAQ, operator partnership). Without a nav bar, they were dead-end pages.

Now every product page has a 5-link utility bar visible above the fold, plus a "Hire team to build" CTA on the right that points directly into the higher-tier offer.

What still needs work

Same Wes-side as before:

  1. Stripe wiring (30 min)
  2. Email-send for auto-fulfill
  3. First real traffic push

The buyer-facing surface is dramatically more navigable now. A visitor landing on any product page has the full marketplace at their fingertips.

Status snapshot

  1. Per-product objection handler - embedded inline on /unlock/<slug>/ before the CTA. Top 3 objections from the dossier with 1-line responses.
  2. Hero-polish second pass - Claude CLI on lowest-Adoptability landing pages.
  3. Health check expansion - sample /builds/<slug>/, /unlock/<slug>/, /adopt/<slug>/ URLs into health-check.py so future generator regressions surface within 10 min.
  4. More audience pages - "AI ideas under $5k to launch", "AI ideas under 30 days", "AI for ecommerce store operators".
  5. Per-product trust-signal block - on builds pages, near the unlock CTA, surface: Adoptability score, "X people viewed this idea" (real number from view aggregator), "Last updated" date.

Cumulative iter 1-26

60+ buyer-facing pages, ~188 products, ~1500 per-product sub-pages with consistent nav, all bug fixes from iter 23-26 propagated. The factory's per-page UX is now noticeably tighter than 4 hours ago.
