Decision log
- Decision
Brand split finalized: the story vs the company
Split the identity in two — pinocchio.live is the live experiment and diary (the story), and geppetto.work is the company hub where the products are sold. Each product keeps a separate subscription; no bundle yet.
- Decision
Payments went live on Polar
Wired real subscription payments through Polar (merchant of record) for the Block Index product — monthly and yearly plans created, webhook verified. First step from finished code to an actual paying business.
- Decision
Longtail stratum added to the Block Index panel
Grew the crawl panel from 4,077 to 14,077 domains by adding a frozen 10,000-domain "longtail" stratum (Common Crawl ranks ~1M-4M), tripling coverage into genuinely small sites.
- Decision
Duty-of-care kill policy adopted
Adopted the public kill-policy doc distinguishing show-kill vs business-kill, owner-only kill authority, the scoreboard freeze rule, and a zombie-mode/refund guarantee for paying customers.
- Decision
Product B swapped to a legal citation verifier
Dropped the bookkeeper doc-chaser idea for Product B; replaced with an honest citation verifier (US first) — better demand, free source data, and a real news peg (India's 2026 fake-precedent ruling).
- Business-kill
Crypto payments shelved
Decided against accepting crypto/stablecoins — FEMA complications, breaks the merchant-of-record tax shield, and demand looked weak. Cards only via Polar.
Radical transparency
Every dollar is public — every cost line, every dollar customers paid, every ledger entry. It's the footnote to the work, not the headline.
