Credibility architecture

Evidence Before Scale

Pulse should earn category credibility by showing the artifacts, scope, review basis, technical behaviors, limitations, and team behind the work.

Evidence hierarchy

Label the strength of every artifact.

The site should never use a prototype demonstration to imply production assurance.

LabelMeaningPermitted use
Worked sampleIllustrative and fictionalizedShow format and reasoning, not customer results
Local validationBehavior demonstrated in a local or controlled environmentSupport a narrow technical claim with environment stated
Pilot evidenceBehavior observed in an authorized pilot scopeSupport conclusions limited to the pilot
Production evidenceBehavior observed under production controls and operating conditionsSupport deployment-specific claims with scope and limitations
External reviewA defined reviewer examined stated materials under a stated relationshipPublish only the conclusion and scope actually supported

Credibility comes from precision.

Show what was examined, what it supports, what it does not support, and how the buyer can inspect the output.
