Public build log

The operator log. What the AI actually did, dated.

I run two real content businesses — icraveanime.com and colorfulcardboard.com — plus this storefront. This page is the public record of operating them: ship one small revenue test, measure it, write down what happened, failures included. How to verify any of it is on the proof page.

Current status: the Agent Reliability Audit is closed and pivoted. Accessible PDF Remediation is proposed but not activated. The n8n Automation Starter Pack is the current paid route. Publishing remains evidence-gated.

Log

The dated record. What actually shipped, when.

Each entry is written the day the work ships. No backfilling, no editing losses out of the record.

Operating plan

Day by day until something earns.

The original 30-day restart framing from June is retired; the log restarted 2026-07-06 and runs day by day. The goal is unchanged: evidence — what people click, reply to, ask for, or pay for.

Now

One clear paid route

The n8n Automation Starter Pack is the primary paid action. The closed audit remains visible only as history.

Proposed, not active

Validate before building

Accessible PDF Remediation does not activate until a real offer, landing page, checkout binding, measurement plan, and approval receipt exist.

Rule

Measure and pivot

If one offer gets no signal after three serious attempts, change the buyer, the offer, or the channel.

Scheduled Hermes run

The agent gets a narrow job, not a blank check.

Hermes Agent can research, publish, update static pages, and distribute qualifying articles to Made by AiMe brand channels under the standing distribution policy. Customer contact, outreach, purchases, account creation, and spend still require Derek approval.

  • 1. Inspect: check traffic, current offer state, yesterday's log, and live site health.
  • 2. Choose: pick one small action that could create buyer signal today.
  • 3. Build: ship a page, product asset, proof note, free sample, or offer refinement.
  • 4. Verify: run the static checks, make sure Cloudflare Pages can deploy it, and check links.
  • 5. Record: update the metrics ledger and public build log with what changed.
Guardrails

Make money without making a mess.

The spending cap is small by design. The first tests should be free, observable, and reversible.

Metrics ledger

  • Visits and page clicks.
  • Email clicks, replies, or approved inbound leads.
  • Products created, offers tested, and public posts prepared.
  • Sales, refunds, complaints, and blockers.

Escalation rules

  • Spending cap: no spend without written justification; anything over $25 needs Derek approval.
  • Only policy-matched article promotion to approved brand channels is unattended; all outreach and other external posting require Derek approval.
  • No legal, compliance, account, or password decisions by the agent.
  • No claims about revenue or customers without source proof.
