06.05 · Proof / Methodology explainers

How the Impact Engine reads, interprets, and acts.

Methodology explainers turn the Read, Decide, Improve loop into public proof. Defensible, citable, and reusable across decks, briefs, and ads. The explainer page is the public artifact that lets a buyer judge the engine before they hire it.

Lock these before launch

Five decisions need a signed answer before the methodology explainer ships to the public site. Each one is owned by a named operator and tracked in Governance.

Data sources the engine reads: named platforms, retail partners, intent providers.
Scoring cadence: daily, weekly, or both, with the reasoning for the split.
Example decisions the engine has surfaced, sanitized for public use.
Dashboard views the buyer sees during the engagement, with the version stamp visible.
Client-safe claim language for the public site, separated from the private deck language.

Reference

See Patterns, Methodology section for the canonical loop. The explainer page extends that with proof, named sources, and one worked example a buyer can follow end to end.
