Systems / build receipts / 2026

What exists.
What remains.

These records separate implementation evidence from user adoption and business outcomes. Counts are labeled as recorded checkpoints unless independently rerun.

01 / Recorded checkpoint: 2026-08-02 In development

SignalLayer

The strongest local engineering record: a proof-gated AI-search operations system with broad test, route and rendered-QA coverage.

Build evidence

827 tests recorded

The dated checkpoint also records 170/170 routes, 16/16 rendered QA captures and a 258-file export-safety check. These figures have not been independently rerun for this page.

Authorship boundary

Johan-led product direction

Johan defined the product model, evidence gates, approval workflow and review criteria. AI agents performed substantial implementation work.

Outcome status

Internal evidence only

No external customer workflow, production deployment, ranking lift, revenue or commercial-validation claim is made.

02 / Recorded local build Interactive prototype

Gatewarden

A security gateway prototype with a real TypeScript engine and adversarial tests, paired with an Electron interface that currently uses mock-backed product flows.

Build evidence

Engine and tests exist

The local project contains a proxy implementation, injection-bypass tests, architecture and security reviews, 24 engine-test files and seven application-test files.

Authorship boundary

Direction, not solo coding

Johan owns the threat model, product definition, interface direction and acceptance criteria. Claude agents performed substantial implementation.

Outcome status

No external audit

No production deployment, human penetration test, customer operation, signing, notarization or commercial outcome is claimed.

03 / Local product build Pre-launch

Wandrize

A broad full-stack build combining a deterministic eligibility engine, serverless payments, monitoring and reusable country modules.

Build evidence

25 country modules

The local record contains 74 generated country and audit pages, a rule engine, Stripe flow, Cloudflare configuration and scheduled monitoring components.

Authorship boundary

Founder and product direction

Johan defined the product, rule structure, customer journey and review workflow. Research, design and implementation were AI-assisted.

Outcome status

Zero revenue recorded

The July external-validation brief records near-zero traffic and zero revenue. No traction, customer or commercial-success claim is made.

04 / Falsification record Research build

Strategy Lab

The most credible result is a rejection: a strong training result degraded below viability out of sample and was classified as curve-fitted.

Build evidence

4.56 to 0.95 PF

The local master summary records the training and out-of-sample degradation. The project also contains a Python harness, smoke tests, trade exports and diagnostic reports.

Authorship boundary

Validation-system direction

Johan directed experiment design, risk rules and promotion gates. AI assisted implementation. Licensed or published strategy logic must remain attributed upstream.

Outcome status

No performance claim

User-maintained account records are not treated as broker-verified evidence. No expected-return, profitable-bot or deployable-edge claim is made.

05 / Execution receipt: 2026-08-09 Validated locally

JH Effects

A concrete bridge between Johan's photographic practice and software: the tool was executed during the audit and produced the exact output shown in the case study.

Build evidence

Successful local run

The 4,279-line Python tool loaded the source image and generated a worn-Polaroid, matte-warm result with grain and dust. Five processing modes are documented.

Authorship boundary

Creative workflow direction

The tool was built for Johan with AI-assisted implementation. Johan directed the creative behavior, selected the run and reviewed the resulting image.

Outcome status

Owner-tested only

No external user, packaged distribution, production adoption, client-time saving or revenue claim is made.
