What shipped (4 substantive items)
Ship 1: NEW /factory/quality-report/ dashboard
Live at https://wishdeal.com/factory/quality-report/. The content-quality version of the iter-73 cron-status page. Where cron-status proves "the studio runs", quality-report proves "the studio runs CLEAN."
Live checks surfaced:
- Health endpoints: 72/72 PASS
- Fake-proof audit: 0 hard, 9 soft (legit benchmarks)
- Em-dash sweep: last-run status
- Broken taglines: 0 PASS
Catalog scale numbers:
- Products: 238 in adoptability index
- Hand-polished: 26 (computed from ship log mentions)
- Playbook essays: 9
- OG share cards: 18 (including new ones added this iter via the polish bulk-gen)
Content invariants listed, with iter number where each was defended at source:
- Unicode em-dashes (sweep every 15 min)
- HTML-entity em-dashes (iter 61)
- Tagline-equals-name (iter 62)
- Name-equals-slug (iter 62)
- Stale product counts (iter 63)
- Bulk-gen fake-proof (iter 66)
- FAQ subpage fake-proof (iter 67)
- Pricing subpage fake-proof (iter 68)
- Enterprise template hardcoded fakes (iter 68)
- Skeleton-broken pages (iter 58 + cron)
Honest framing in the intro:
Most "AI marketplace" sites do not publish their own quality metrics. We do, because the catalog only earns trust by surfacing its weak points.
Generator at /home/ubuntu/factory/director/regen-quality-report.py (~180 lines) pulls from real audit + health-check + adoptability data. Regens every 30 min via new cron. Wired into health-check (72/72) and sitemap (2315 URLs).
Ship 2: gi-log polished via bulk-gen
gi-log had H1 = "gi-log" (literally the slug). The title tag said "gi-log: Persistent Session Memory for Claude Code" - rich content existed but the H1 was broken.
Fix: ran _bulk_gen.py gi-log. New H1: "Stop re-explaining your codebase to Claude every single session." Operator voice, names the specific pain.
Ship 3: employee-onboarding-ai polished via bulk-gen
Same pattern: H1 was "Onboarding AI" (just the product type), but title tag had the proper tagline "Turn First Days Into First Wins."
Fix: ran _bulk_gen.py employee-onboarding-ai. New content:
- Eyebrow: "For HR Managers and People leads at 50 to 300 person companies"
- H1: "Stop losing new hires in the first sixty days"
Audit no-op: tagline-equals-name
Found 0 weak taglines catalog-wide. The iter 62 source fix is still holding. Same audit-stable observation as iter 78's home-counts check.

Why quality-report matters
This is the third public transparency surface (after cron-status and the ship-log changelog). It makes "is this catalog actually maintained?" a question that resolves to a public dashboard, not a sales pitch. A buyer can click and see: 72/72 health, 0 fake-proof, 0 broken taglines, with cron timestamps that visibly update.
The 10-invariants list is the structural defense story: each bug class has a date attached, showing the system has a real history of catching and fixing things.
Running queue (top 5 for iter 80)
- Polish remaining short-H1 products (employee-onboarding-ai + gi-log done; ~13 more from iter 79 audit, but some are intentionally brand-name H1s)
- /factory/quality-report/ OG image - currently uses methodology OG, would be cleaner with dedicated
- Run audit-fakeproof.py at 4:30am tomorrow to confirm the daily cron fires correctly (manually fired today as test)
- Cross-link /quality-report/ from /methodology/ (similar to iter 74's cron-status cross-link)
- Consider an iter cadence change - 30 min is producing consistent 3-4 ships per iter but the high-leverage pool is shrinking. Could go to 45 min or stay at 30 min if there's persistent value.
Cumulative iter 1-79
- Catalog: 238 products, 0 broken, 0 fabrications
- Content library: 9 essays + 16 OG cards
- High-trust pages: 8 polished surfaces
- Hand-polished products: 26
- Source durability: 15+ generators + audit-fakeproof + stripe-webhook skeleton + cron-status + quality-report
- Content invariants: 10 defended at surface+source AND surfaced live on /quality-report/
- Public transparency surfaces: 3 (changelog, cron-status, quality-report)
The factory's "is this real?" surface is now a live dashboard rather than a marketing claim. Iter 80+ can continue per-product polish OR pivot to bigger new-feature work.
