An offering claims register: sentences that can survive a later reader · Incidents
Drift is an incident. Treat it like one.
The Tuesday recording that does not match Friday’s site is not a colour piece.
On a Tuesday a founder records a conversation. The site says the testnet has been live since March. The conversation says more than a year. A creator posts “battle-tested.” None of these people is lying in the prosecutor’s sense. They are using the sentences they have. The sentences are not the same sentence. By Thursday the thread is in a market chat. By Friday a counterpart asks for the explorer that would make “a year” true. It does not.
Incident response: freeze new offering-adjacent content; capture what ran; write the true row; correct in the same channels with the same seniority; takedown what cannot be corrected; tell counsel if the drift touched pathway, market, or return; record the incident in the room. Then the human conversation about how the founder was briefed.
Vol. 01’s cover story is the general register. This feature is the offering specialisation. Use both. Do not keep two sheets that fight.
