NOTEBOOK NO. 1
WHAT WE TESTED, WHAT BROKE,
WHAT CHANGED

EXP-006 · 12 OCT 2026SHIPPED

A new look, and a mark that means something

AIM: Make the site feel like a lab, and make the logo say what Day91 does.
OBSERVED: The old mark was the number 91 in a green square. It said nothing about the work.
RESULT: A new colour theme across the site, and a new logo: a curved thread joining a claim (purple) to its source (green), drawn as a D.

claim → source, every time

EXP-005 · 12 OCT 2026SHIPPED

AIM: Let visitors ask about a company without inventing answers.
OBSERVED: A general AI search can produce confident numbers with no document behind them.
RESULT: The homepage search answers only from published issues. Every row shows its source and how far we checked it. If we haven't published on a company, it says so.

no source, no answer

EXP-004 · 12 OCT 2026METHOD

AIM: Get each issue live the day it's approved.
OBSERVED: Issue 014 took more than two hours to go live because publishing was bundled with site fixes.
RESULT: Publishing is now its own routine: copy the finished issue files, update the issue list, deploy. Site fixes run separately.

one job per run

EXP-003 · 12 OCT 2026TESTING

AIM: Both tools answered the same question: how does this company stack up?
OBSERVED: People had to choose a tool before they knew which view they needed, and switching meant typing the company in again.
RESULT: In progress: one Battlecard with a switch at the top, a competitor or its peers. Old Compare links will open the peers view.

same sources, same labels

EXP-002 · 12 OCT 2026FINDING

AIM: Check what companies' own documents say about AI and jobs.
OBSERVED: Oracle's 10-Q and 10-K name AI as a reason for workforce reductions. Block and Cloudflare say so in letters. HubSpot and Intuit deny it. Most say nothing.
RESULT: Published as Issue 015, a special edition: 10 signals, 29 sources, every one read in the document.

read the filing, not the headline

EXP-001 · 12 OCT 2026FIX

AIM: Check a tracker's claim we had tagged C (no document) in Issue 013.
OBSERVED: NapoleonCat's own blog shows $139 is its Expert plan and $465 is where custom Enterprise pricing starts.
RESULT: Two different plans, not an old and a new price. Corrected in Issue 014, with the original claim left visible.

C means: go check

more soon. corrections go in the log.
