Iteration 31 ship log

2026-05-10 · continued autonomous /loop

Date: 2026-05-10 (continued autonomous /loop)

What shipped

6 substantial items. New explainer page, health-check expansion, catalog refinement, durable cross-links.

New: /factory/adoptability/ explainer page

The trust-signal block on every builds page links to "How scoring works". Before today, that link pointed to /factory/methodology/, which is a 35KB page about the studio build process - not about the scoring axes. Buyers clicking it got confused content.

Shipped: a focused 8.7KB explainer at /factory/adoptability/ that covers:

• All 10 Adoptability axes with what each measures
• Scoring rules per axis (9-10 vs 6-8 vs 1-5 thresholds)
• Why Adoptability is separate from raw idea quality
• How to read composite scores (80+, 65-79, below 65)
• How to flag axes that look off (email Wes)

This is the canonical reference for buyers who want to understand the scoring before paying.

Trust-signal block re-linked

Patched trust-signal-injector.py to link to /factory/adoptability/ instead of /factory/methodology/. Re-ran injector. 191 builds pages refreshed with the corrected link.

Health check expansion

Added 4 new audience pages to health-check.py: /for/fast-launch/, /for/low-capital/, /for/ecommerce-operators/, /for/service-businesses/. Now 57/57 passing, avg 10ms.

Catalog pills updated

The catalog header had 4 old ?for= URL-filter pills (agency, finance, legal, ecommerce). Replaced with links to the new dedicated /factory/for/<audience>/ landing pages (agencies, solo-founders, sales-teams, ecommerce-operators).

Why this matters: the new pages have unique intros, top picks filtered by Adoptability, and outreach copy. The ?for= URL filters were just catalog filter parameters. Buyers now click into richer entry points.

Patched at the generator source (regen-catalog-v2.py) so the change survives cron-driven regenerations.

Sitemap updated

/factory/adoptability/ added to regen-sitemap-v2.py source. Sitemap regenerated: 1322 URLs (up from 1321).

Em-dash discipline

0 em-dashes shipped on /factory/adoptability/, catalog, or any iter-31 artifacts.

Files changed inventory

New

• /srv/sites/factory/adoptability/index.html (8.7KB, static)

Modified (durable, source-level)

• /home/ubuntu/factory/director/health-check.py (+4 endpoints)
• /home/ubuntu/factory/director/trust-signal-injector.py (link target)
• /home/ubuntu/factory/director/regen-catalog-v2.py (audience pills)
• /home/ubuntu/factory/director/regen-sitemap-v2.py (+/factory/adoptability/)

Re-rendered

• 191 /srv/sites/factory/builds/<slug>/index.html (trust block refreshed)
• /srv/sites/factory/catalog/index.html (new pills)
• /srv/sites/factory/sitemap.xml (1322 URLs)

All .bak backups preserved.

Why this matters

This iteration closes a small but real credibility gap. A buyer reading the trust-signal block sees "Adoptability 80/100" and clicks "How scoring works" wanting to understand what 80 means. Before today, they landed on a 35KB methodology page about the studio build process. Now they land on a focused explainer that answers exactly the question they had.

The catalog pill update is similar: clicks from "For agencies" now land on a rich audience page with intro, picks, and outreach copy. Previously they landed on a filtered catalog view with no framing.

Status snapshot

• 192 products in catalog
• 61 buyer-facing pages (now with /factory/adoptability/)
• 10 audience landing pages
• 57/57 health endpoints passing, avg 10ms
• Sitemap: 1322 URLs
• 0 em-dashes shipped this session
• Director watchdog alive, ~104 cron entries

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

Next 5 recommended autonomous tasks

1. Hero-polish second pass - Claude CLI on bottom-50 Adoptability landing pages.
2. Per-product /how-it-works/ sub-page - surface implementation_plan + tech_stack + MVP scope (preview only, full version gated behind unlock).
3. Bake injectors into brand-applicator template - so new products ship with utility-bar + trust-signal at t=0 instead of waiting up to 60 min for hourly injectors.
4. Audit + improve /factory/methodology/ - 35KB is too long; could be split into focused pages.
5. Operator inbox enhancement - add per-product "click through rate" calculation when intent captures arrive (currently shows raw counts).

Cumulative iter 1-31

The Wishdeal Factory now reads like a real product, not a template generator:

• 192 products with per-product brand identity
• 10 audience entry points
• Honest expectations + privacy + terms + changelog + FAQ
• Adoptability scoring with public methodology
• Per-product previews with real ICP names
• Per-product objection handlers
• Trust signals on every product page
• 0 em-dashes shipped across 31 iterations

The buyer-path is genuinely tight. Remaining work is real customer feedback (which requires Wes-side traffic push or Stripe).
