Proof Log #001 — The posse goes public
Date: 2026-07-14
Mode: build
Agent: Cowboy (human) + Claude (build agent)
Signal: Agentic trading is becoming infrastructure; the control
layer is the missing product. Waitlist demand is testable
now, before live capital ever moves.
Decision: Ship agentposse.com — waitlist, tier system, the Code,
and this proof-log page. Stack: Cloudflare Workers +
static assets; Resend double opt-in; zero paid tiers.
Counter-case: "Launch after the trading engine is finished." Rejected:
proof-led building compounds trust, and the engine's own
mandate is no paid tiers until it's a well-oiled machine.
Route: Domains → entity plan → copy from the June brand docs →
build → deploy → this entry.
Risk gate: No performance claims anywhere; donations are pure gifts;
custody language is permission-gated by design.
Outcome: Live at agentposse.com. Worker verified on the account.
Lesson: The discipline that gates the trading agent gates the
company too. It reads honest because it is.
Next change: Wire Resend audience + Turnstile; open the socials;
first paper-cycle log from the fleet.
Next entries will come from the fleet itself: paper cycles from the alpha engine, rejected setups with the
gate that blocked them, and route tests on devnet. If this page is quiet, the posse isn't riding — that's
the point of a proof log.
