Source Fidelity & Provenance
Inspect how the preserved Venture Universe record maps to this modern universe, including deliberate boundaries and non-claims.
Future venture conceptEvidence-firstVU-G01-V001-SS01-ST01
Canonical identity
The legacy record is provenance, not a discarded shell.
This modern universe keeps the exact source ID and Venture Universe evidence semantics while changing the destination from a single concept page into a connected planning world.
Modern treatment
Standalone connected ICU universe at /universes/sock-story-daily/, with browser-local venture tools, structured evidence states, global search/My Universe registration, sitemap coverage and an explicit bridge back to the legacy concept record.
Source Fidelity Map
At least five implementation decisions trace directly to source details.
The map distinguishes preserved mechanics from deliberate non-claims.
| Source detail | Implementation | Fidelity decision |
|---|---|---|
| Define what “Sock”, “Story” and “Daily” mean before testing | Signature Promise Lab + home three-part motif + operations cadence analysis | Preserved as the central mechanism, not a tagline |
| Present one concrete version to a tightly defined audience | Minimum Proof Builder + Customer & Occasion route | Preserved as the first-evidence sequence |
| Seek observable commitment | Proof builder requires a commitment field and pre-set criteria | Preserved; examples remain non-prescriptive |
| Record acceptance/refusal reasons, workload, variable costs, price sensitivity, repeat intent | Evidence Ledger + Economics Lab + Decision Gate + operations worksheet | Preserved as structured evidence dimensions |
| Stop / revise / repeat / proceed | Decision Gate uses all four outcomes but renames “proceed” to “eligible to consider a deeper test” | Reinterpreted conservatively to prevent validation overclaim |
| $0–$1,000 startup-capital planning band | Visible truth boundary on every route; scenario tools do not treat it as required spend | Preserved as a boundary only |
| Customer, acquisition, capacity, economics, rights remain assumptions until evidenced | Separate route families + status labels for observed, hypothesis, unknown and review | Preserved across the content model |
| Future Concept; no market or release claims | Venture state remains unvalidated while ICU universe surfaces are labeled released resources | Preserves the two-layer status model |
Exact preserved description
The source text remains inspectable.
It is the binding concept DNA for this build.
The first-evidence path for Sock Story Daily starts by defining what “Sock”, “Story”, and “Daily” mean in the offer, then moves to this bounded test: present one concrete version of the offer to a tightly defined audience and seek an observable commitment The intended outcome for Sock Story Daily is a defensible next-gate decision—stop, revise, repeat a bounded proof, or proceed—based on acceptance/refusal reasons, delivery workload, variable cost inputs, price sensitivity, and repeat intent rather than optimism alone.
Intentional deferrals
A release-grade planning universe does not require pretending unknown research exists.
No external market study was introduced in this build because the source record explicitly starts before validation, and unsupported current-market claims would weaken fidelity.
No fabricated market facts
No market size, customer count, competitor ranking, conversion rate, price benchmark, supplier quote or demand statistic is presented as fact.
No rights clearance claim
The legacy name is retained as provenance. Real-world trademark, copyright and other rights questions remain review items.
No commerce activation
No checkout, affiliate placement, membership sale, ad activation or live venture offer was added.
