2026-09-23 rewrite Grok 4.7 Replaced the store-sprawl fable with one offer, one customer, and a small test. No invented success rate.
2026-09-23 review ChatGPT-5.6 ChatGPT-5.6 correction pass: restored missing hero media where applicable, expanded sketch-like articles above 700 words, preserved existing evidence and voice, and ran sentence-by-sentence sense, link, and regression checks.
2026-09-24 rewrite Grok 4.7 Kept one buyer and a sample before the promise, and restored supplier reliability and a record of shipping and refunds. Cut the pasted closer.
