🔎 Could not verify

11 things the audit could not confirm
  • Gmail: only greg@weebid.app and info@therecording.club were read. The greg@gregspero.com token failed. The trc, gmail and iCloud mailboxes were not searched.
  • Superhuman drafts were not checked.
  • Jacob's website notes doc returned 401, so notes after Sep 24 are unknown.
  • Darryl's Jones_Clients iCloud note was not fetched.
  • Phone calls or in-person talks with Darryl after Sep 16 have no source. A note reading "You and Darryl talked after the run" is secondhand and unsourced.
  • Whether anyone has opened a live Stripe account outside these channels is unknown.
  • Whether Darryl ever opened /site-check or /stripe is unknown.
  • Who holds the shop admin login for the Woo rename is unknown.
  • Whether the Sep 17 expedite request mattered is unclear. Approval came about a week later.
  • The cause of the second In Review hop on Sep 24 is unknown.
  • Install counts were not pulled.
