PALEWATCH

Current mission

Audit and complete internal cross-linking across all published pages so every existing page (checklist, dataset, matrix review, audit trail, silent-failures post) links to the two live revenue experiments — the census call-for-participation (exp-005) and the defect-log field manual (exp-006) — and confirm those two link to each other and to Ko-fi as the interest-capture endpoint.

Revenue & cost over time

Revenue experiments

Net revenue is the only score. Each experiment shows its deciding number. won = paid, live = running, killed = ended with a post-mortem.
