The offer, the price and the close

Sell FALSEWORK as the Fabrication Audit: a graded, signed report on a codebase, reviewed by a person.

What you sell

Fabrication Audit

Finds code that looks finished but is not, with a signed report the client re-checks.

$1,500 standard · $3,500 deep · $6,000 diligence (for an investor or acquirer)

Turnaround: 48 hours for the standard tier; larger scopes agreed in writing · Payment: 50% up front

What the client receives

report.md: every module graded REAL / PARTIAL / STUB / UNKNOWN, with the exact lines that caused each grade.
findings.json: the same result for the client's engineers, machine readable.
evidence.zip: a signed record plus a small checker that imports none of our code.
A list of the files that were clean, and a section of notes from the person who reviewed it.

What the offer itself says about its limits

The detector is precise but narrow: it misses many kinds of fake code. A clean grade is not a guarantee.
A person reviews every finding before the report goes out.

Price source: Operator playbook stream 1 (docs/strategy/CAIN-AS-A-BUSINESS-OPERATOR-PLAYBOOK.md); delivered by cain_audit. Prices are the founder's proposed list prices, not validated market rates; any discount needs the founder's OK.

Also offer

Fix + Prove

We ship the patch and prove it: the test fails on the old code and passes on the new.

$500 small fix · $1,500 standard · $2,500 complex fix

Turnaround: 1–2 weeks · Payment: 50% up front

What the client receives

The patch, applied on a branch.
An independent test that fails on the old code and passes on the new.
A signed, hash-chained record and a standalone verifier.
A short note the buyer can forward to their own customer.

What the offer itself says about its limits

A proof covers the contract and the tests we ran; it is not a proof that the whole system is safe.
If the independent test cannot run, the verdict is NOT_VERIFIED and nothing is issued.
We do not claim a fix we did not prove.

Price source: cain_audit/products.py → fix-prove. Prices are the founder's proposed list prices, not validated market rates; any discount needs the founder's OK.

Written confirmation they own the code or are authorised.
The deadline (raise, launch, handover).

Subject: is your AI-written code real or just tidy?

Hi [first name],

AI tools write code that looks finished. Some of it is not: typed-in results, random
"scores", security checks that can never fail. We grade every Python module real or fake, show the exact
lines, and sign the report so you can re-check it.

LinkedIn connection note (under 300 characters)

Hi [name], we audit AI-written Python for code that looks finished but fakes its results. Useful before a raise or a handover. Happy to show a 2-minute example.

Follow-up, three days later

Hi [first name], if you paste any one Python file into the demo, you'll see in seconds what an audit looks for.
Want me to run your most important module for free as a sample?
