Pipeline Review Results
- First dogfood: ran proposal through full VerdictTank pipeline
- Verdict: 3/3 Unanimous Conditional Go
- Phase 1 (Research Agent): No direct competitor found — cross-vendor architecture is novel
- Phase 2 (Critic Agent): 4/10 average — 4 fatal flaws: trademark, pricing, financial model, no validation
- Phase 3a (Judge A): Ratified 85% of critic — pricing > name in priority, rejected co-founder as condition
- Phase 3b (Judge B): Caught overage incentive flaw, compound reliability risk (97.5% = 18hr/mo downtime)
- Phase 3c (Judge C): Meta-layer insight, training-data recursion (Year 3), liability asymmetry, SEO desert
- Critical review addendum: https://mockup.iamgmb.com/verdicttank/critical-review.html
- Priority-ranked 11-item action plan with reconciled timeline (Apr 2027 paid launch)
- Novel insights: product IS content, verdict confidence scoring, degraded-mode fallback needed
Updated Proposal (Post-Review)
- Full rebrand to VerdictTank throughout
- Tiered usage-based pricing (no "unlimited"): $19/$49/$99/$299 + $14.99 pay-per-review
- Financial model with churn (5-7%), CAC ($15-25), LTV ($210-290), LTV:CAC (~10:1)
- Real break-even estimate: 25-35 users (not 6)
- Timeline pushed to Mar-Apr 2027 paid launch
- New risks: training-data recursion, liability asymmetry, alignment drift, SEO desert

- Pipeline self-review section with verdict banner
- Added: degraded-mode fallback, benchmark accuracy report, advisory board plan
