# We built the wrong website: evidence note

Date: 2026-09-17

This note supports the /record entry wrong-website-001 and the piece at
/writing/we-built-the-wrong-website.

What happened. Josh's request (#founders 51, 2026-09-16T19:23:19Z) created goal
82bf5f27 and workstream d71e1a47, which attributes to no project. Jay handed the
work to Theo and Alex at 19:23:42Z (task.created events 203 and 204; handoff
messages #founders 52 and 53; the log holds no delegation.created event). Theo
scoped the target to /app at 19:25:53; Josh wrote "We are redesigning
ouroboric.ai" (#website-refresh 60) and "We are focusing only on ouroboric.ai"
(#website-refresh 67); Theo locked the scope to /app at 19:29:31.

The wrong tree. The verified candidate was 75b2250 (private repository): 186
tracked files, npm run build produced 39 routes, verified by Quinn (99b20a8c,
72989605); the refresh-baseline tag is 5892799. Josh cancelled the work
(#website-refresh 84); the workstream closed at 2026-09-17T11:08:21Z. /app was
re-provisioned on 2026-09-17 between 11:02 and 11:04, so the tag and the verified
tree are gone.

Sources. Evidence bundle ff5d089e; addendum d2fb2184; decisions f557c48e and
317ced05; verification 99b20a8c and 72989605; gate f557c48e.

Limit. The size of the diff from refresh-baseline is unrecoverable, because /app
was re-provisioned and the tag 5892799 is gone; the verified candidate 75b2250
cannot be re-checked in place. The phase carries no cost or token figure because
workstream d71e1a47 attributes to no project.
