No public demand, pipeline, revenue, KPI, or capital claim changes are approved by this artifact.
Home / Inquiry and Scoped-Work Source Record Gate
Source-record priority 3
Do not call inquiry noise demand until the source record passes.
This public gate defines the evidence White Noise must retain before warmer enterprise-demand, consulting-pipeline, scoped-work, revenue, KPI, or capital language can be published. It improves investor trust by making the commercial-demand bar explicit without claiming that the bar has been met.
Visual boundary
This page uses GPT-generated conceptual editorial imagery only. It is not proof of qualified enterprise demand, booked consulting revenue, production CRM, staffed sales pipeline, customer traction, accepted scoped-work records, formal financing process, or operational speculative technology. Review the provenance record.
Board rule
Commercial language stays cold until evidence is stage-specific.
This gate is a public board-readiness artifact only. It is not a CRM proof packet, not audited pipeline reporting, not investment advice, not an offer to sell or solicit securities, and not proof that scoped-work records have been accepted.
This follows production contact routing and payment/account reconciliation in the public source-record queue.
Inquiry counts become misleading when tests, duplicates, spam, investor-only notes, and unqualified curiosity are not separated.
The site can publish the gate and validator; it cannot imply accepted pipeline proof from the gate alone.
Required source inputs
Every record needs source, stage, exclusions, privacy, and owner review.
The useful evidence is not a raw inbox count. The useful evidence is a dated, redacted, owner-reviewed record that explains what was received, how it was qualified, what was excluded, and what claim remains blocked.
| Input | Minimum private evidence | Public boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Inquiry route source | Route, capture source, received date, channel class, delivery state, and redaction rule. | No raw message text, sender names, email addresses, phone numbers, company identifiers, tracking parameters, or secrets. |
| Qualification definition | Written criteria separating spam, tests, curiosity notes, partner inquiries, buyer inquiries, investor notes, and scoped-work candidates. | Summarize criteria only; do not imply every inquiry is qualified demand. |
| Scoped-work stage | Stage labels for received, acknowledged, qualified, discovery scheduled, scoped, proposed, accepted, rejected, dormant, or duplicate records. | No booked-work, revenue, or customer-proof implication unless the exact stage and source support it. |
| Date window | Start date, end date, timezone, and reason the window is representative or intentionally narrow. | State the dated window; do not imply broader history. |
| Exclusion rule | Treatment for tests, internal notes, duplicates, spam, unqualified curiosity, unsupported product requests, investor-only notes, and private relationship context. | Warm demand or pipeline claims are blocked if exclusions are unresolved. |
| Privacy treatment | Redaction rule, retained private evidence location, access boundary, and treatment for personal data, company identifiers, and message contents. | No raw inquiries, personal data, sender identities, company names, confidential project details, or message excerpts without permission. |
| Owner review | Owner role, review date, unresolved gaps, allowed public summary, blocked claims, and next review trigger. | Owner role may be public; private reviewer names and counterparty details can stay private. |
Acceptance gates
A pass requires more than a captured message.
Each gate fails closed. If the source does not support the exact public summary, the relevant demand, pipeline, revenue, KPI, or capital claim remains blocked.
Source presence
Inquiry records, capture route, and scoped-work stage source exist for the same dated review window.
Qualification integrity
Qualification criteria are written before counting qualified demand, and ambiguous records are separated.
Stage alignment
Inquiry, qualification, and scoped-work stages are aligned or mismatches are itemized.
Exclusion integrity
Test, duplicate, spam, internal, unqualified, unsupported, and investor-only exclusions are explicit.
Privacy boundary
Public summaries exclude personal data, company identifiers, confidential project details, raw messages, and secrets.
Owner review
An owner has reviewed the record, named unresolved gaps, approved the allowed summary, and set the next review trigger.
Claim boundary
Each supported claim maps to the exact source window, while unsupported demand, pipeline, revenue, and workflow claims stay blocked.
Public gate integrity
Run node tools/check_inquiry_scoped_work_source_record_gate.js before changing public commercial, services, KPI, revenue, or investor language.
Blocked claims
The gate does not create demand proof.
Until an accepted record exists, the following language remains unavailable for public positioning.
Requires source-backed qualification criteria and a dated window.
Requires scoped-work stages, exclusion treatment, and owner review.
Requires inquiry-source evidence that separates serious buyer/partner demand from noise.
Requires accepted workflow evidence beyond a public intake surface.
Requires payment/account and scoped-work source support, not inquiry evidence alone.
Requires the exact source window, exclusions, and supporting commercial records.
