Source-to-Publish Evidence Gate

Close the publication decision with an evidence-backed PASS or HOLD.

More source URLs do not finish a publication decision. This workflow records claims, evidence, mutable facts, and required follow-up, then regenerates the same decision from the same input.

Built from Hidekazu Ishikawa’s daily work publishing AI news, technical articles, and business recommendations. It does not add more search or writing. It closes the decision that comes next: can this be published?

[ THE DECISION ]

Not a tool for collecting more sources. A product for finishing the publication decision.

It does not perform live search, fetch sources, extract claims automatically, or publish to a CMS. It turns the public-safe manifest you supply into an explainable claim ledger and publication gate.

[ REPORT SAMPLE ]

Two clear states, not an invented confidence score.

These are structural examples. The Markdown and versioned JSON reports always carry the same gate result.

PASS

PASS / ready with limits

mode: technical-article
claims: 6 supported / 0 unresolved
mutable facts: verified
publication_gate: PASS
next: publish with recorded limitations
HOLD

HOLD / correct and rerun

mode: business-recommendation
claim: supported
price: verify-first
publication_gate: HOLD
next: add verified_at, then rerun

[ THREE WORKFLOWS ]

Shift the review emphasis to fit the publication.

The paid workflow pack applies the same engine through three practical modes.

01 / AI NEWS

Separate the announcement from the current state.

Start with official announcements, documentation, and release notes. Recheck model names, availability, dates, regions, and pricing immediately before publication.

02 / TECHNICAL ARTICLE

Tie reproducibility back to evidence.

Connect official documentation, source code, release notes, and reproduction tests. Review versions, compatibility, security behavior, and API contracts.

03 / BUSINESS RECOMMENDATION

Keep recommendations separate from facts.

Separate vendor terms from independent primary evidence, and make changing prices, plans, regions, support, and terms explicit HOLD conditions.

[ LOCAL BOUNDARY ]

Keep the draft off the network.

The core engine runs offline, does not fetch URLs, and needs neither an account login nor a runtime license check.

OFFLINE

The engine makes no network connection and processes only the manifest you provide.

NO TELEMETRY

Usage data, drafts, source text, and report text are not sent to the seller automatically.

PUBLIC-SAFE ONLY

Credential-bearing, private, login, and signed URLs are rejected during preflight.

RAW DRAFT STAYS LOCAL

Support does not request raw drafts. Reproduction uses redacted errors and environment metadata only.

Independently QA-tested only on macOS 26 / Apple silicon / Python 3.10.8. Linux, Windows, Intel Mac, and other Python versions are outside private-beta support.

[ BUYER JOURNEY ]

Install it, correct the HOLD, and run it again.

The product experience ends when you close one of your own decisions, not when you merely view a sample.

  1. 01 / VERIFY

    Verify the archive and its boundary

    Check the SHA-256 and run buyer verification inside the extracted archive.

    python3 verify.py

  2. 02 / INSTALL

    Install the free core and paid pack separately

    Install the free engine first. A buyer then adds the paid workflow references without changing the free schema.

    codex plugin add source-to-publish-evidence-gate@personal

  3. 03 / FIRST GATE

    Generate report.before

    Use a selected mode and public-safe manifest to produce matching Markdown and JSON decisions. Exit 3 is an expected HOLD.

    scripts/evidence-gate input.json --json-output report.before.json --markdown-output report.before.md

  4. 04 / CORRECT

    Correct the reason for HOLD

    Fix the source, claim wording, publication scope, or mutable fact verified_at. Do not relabel evidence only to force PASS.

  5. 05 / RERUN

    Keep the before and after

    Run again with new filenames, then hand off why HOLD became PASS and which limitations remain.

    scripts/evidence-gate input.fixed.json --json-output report.after.json --markdown-output report.after.md

[ FREE / PAID ]

The decision engine is free. The workflow for finishing real work is paid.

The two archives remain separate, with value and license boundaries defined file by file.

FREE CORE / MIT

Test the decision quality first.

A usable deterministic core, not an advertising stub.

  • deterministic engine
  • versioned JSON Schema / Markdown report
  • public URL preflight
  • one reproducible sample
  • buyer verification
  • install / uninstall / safety docs

[ PRIVATE BETA PRICE ]

$29 one-time for the private beta.

This is not a subscription. The cohort is limited to five buyers and includes all 0.x updates. $39 is only a standard-price candidate to reconsider after beta evaluation; it is not the current sale price.

PRIVATE BETA

$29 one-time up to 5 buyers / no calls / all 0.x updates

STANDARD CANDIDATE

$39 one-time not for sale / reconsidered after beta evaluation

[ TERMS ]

Agree to the use boundary before purchase.

Checkout requires confirmation of the supported environment, support boundary, refund policy, and commercial license. Merchant-of-record terms and mandatory consumer protections take precedence where applicable.

[ SUPPORT ]

No calls and no consulting.

Asynchronous support covers blocking installation defects, missing archive content, version mismatches, failure to reproduce a documented workflow, and security or privacy bugs. The private beta includes one asynchronous question. A first response is targeted within three business days, but it is not an SLA.

Source collection, research, writing, judging individual claims, setup calls, screen sharing, meetings, advisory work, and custom integration are excluded.

[ REFUND ]

Full refund in principle within 14 days of purchase.

A reason is not required. A refund ends the download benefit and paid license, and the buyer is asked to delete downloaded paid files and private backups. Reports legitimately generated before the refund may continue to be used.

[ LICENSE ]

MIT for free. Single-user for paid.

The buyer may use the paid pack on up to three devices they own or manage. Generated reports may be used and shared commercially, including for client work. The paid archive, templates, guides, decision tables, workflows, and samples may not be redistributed or resold.

[ UPDATES ]

The private beta includes every 0.x update.

Fixes and improvements within 0.x are included without another fee. Rights to 1.0 or later, a future standard price, a subscription, or future versions are not included. Check the version and SHA-256 before updating, and retain existing reports.

[ FAQ ]

Make the boundary clear before purchase.

Does it fact-check my article automatically?

No. It checks whether the claims and evidence you supplied satisfy the declared publication policy and returns an auditable PASS or HOLD. It does not guarantee facts absolutely.

Does it upload my draft or source text?

No. The core engine runs locally, performs no fetch, and sends no telemetry. Optional external tools have separate data boundaries for you to evaluate.

Does PASS prove every claim is true?

No. PASS means the supplied manifest satisfies the gate. It is not legal, medical, plagiarism, authorship, or absolute factual certification.

Why pay if the engine is free?

The paid pack provides three complete workflows, decision tables, bilingual guidance, handoff templates, a HOLD-to-PASS walkthrough, and verified samples for consistent publishing work.

Can generated reports be used for client work?

Yes. A single-user buyer may use and share generated reports commercially. The paid pack itself may not be redistributed or resold.

Is a subscription or setup support required?

No subscription is required. Calls and consulting are not included. The private beta includes one asynchronous question within the support boundary.

[ AVAILABILITY ]

Keep the two entry points separate.

The free core is available as a direct public archive. Paid checkout stays disconnected until Polar Account Review is complete and production payments are available.
