Description

Priority

AA-2c-Contribute-a1

Create a contribute page with the actual funding mechanism (GoFundMe, Stripe, or equivalent). The experiment page promises accountability but currently has no link for actually giving money. Without this, the page is an argument with no call to action.

critical

AA-2c-FAQ-a1

Create an faq page addressing predictable objections: “Isn’t this a cult?”, “What happens if you die?”, “How do I check where my money went?”, “Why should I trust a stranger on the internet?”, “What if the reviewers are corrupt?”, “How is this different from Patreon for a blog?” Each answer must point to the specific mechanism that addresses the concern.

high

AA-2c-Results-a1

Create a results page (or link to one) where ongoing experiment results are published. This is the page that proves the transparency promise is real. Without it, the promise is just words. Initially a stub; updated as reviews are conducted.

high

AA-2c-ReviewerGuidelines-a1

Create a reviewer-guidelines page specifying what adversarial reviewers actually do: scope, methods, reporting format, independence requirements, payment structure, conflict-of-interest rules. The experiment page claims adversarial testing; this page makes the claim concrete.

high

AA-2c-Governance-a1

Create a governance page describing the legal and organizational structure that ensures reviewer independence. How are reviewers selected? Who pays them? What prevents the person being tested from influencing the testers? Consider fiscal sponsorship, independent board, or similar mechanism.

high

AA-2c-ScalingRoadmap-a1

Expand the scaling table into a scaling page with detail on what happens at each funding tier. What specific infrastructure gets built at $8k, $80k, $800k, $8M? Who gets hired? What review cadence is feasible? This turns a four-line table into a credible operational plan.

medium

AA-2c-ActionTeaser-a1

Rewrite the /action/index.rst teaser to include a compelling 3-5 sentence summary of the experiment with a clear link to this folder. Currently the action page does not foreground the experiment prominently enough.

medium

AA-2c-Multilingual-a1

Review the experiment page for cultural accessibility across all 10 target languages. The widow’s mite and sadaqah/tzedakah references help but may need adaptation per locale. Check that the “two cents” framing translates (it may need locale-specific equivalents in the translated page titles).

medium

AA-2c-NumbersAudit-a1

Audit all specific claims: “240 formal adversarial tests with zero unrepaired failures” — is this still current? The scaling table dollar amounts — are they realistic for the stated infrastructure? Every number on this page must be defensible under adversarial review.

medium

AA-2c-LinkAudit-a1

Check that all :doc: links resolve. Several linked pages (gametheory, transparency, review-by-reality) are currently orphaned or stubs. Each one needs to be at least at a minimum viable state before the experiment page goes live.

medium

AA-2c-LegalReview-a1

Legal review of fundraising language. Depending on jurisdiction, soliciting donations with specific dollar amounts and promises of accountability may have legal requirements (charity registration, fiscal sponsorship, tax-deductibility disclosures). This must be checked before going live.

medium

AA-2c-DesignReview-a1

Visual/UX review of the rendered page. Does it render well on mobile? Is the hierarchy clear? Do the links stand out? Is there a clear primary CTA (call to action) above the fold? Consider adding a prominent “Fund the Test” button or box.
