Satisfies the Phase 1 Definition of Done: - content/ validates cleanly against the frozen schema. `make validate` reports OK: 40 document(s) validated, 0 violations. - Six areas exist, each with an L1 entry: ai-overview, platform-overview, edge-overview, products-overview, history-overview, about-overview. - All six areas have an L2 entry: ai-systems, platform-estate, edge-fleet, products-business, history-engagements, about-narrative. - 28 L3 artefact stubs under content/<area>/l3/. Every artefacts[].url in every document resolves to one of them; the validator proves there are no dangling references (and a deliberately broken copy exits 1). - Every metric value traces to a source line in the evidence notes or the approved metric set in reference/content-map.md (per-metric citations are recorded in the AUD-131 completion comment). - Every document carries confidence and last_verified=2026-10-26; the validator rejects a missing or non-canonical value. - docs/content-redaction.md records the redaction pass: identifiers, third party personal data, credentials and infrastructure detail excluded, with reasons, plus the two numbers that are reported rather than smoothed. Honesty positions held: 3 businesses active (12 adoptions over time), Where-Woof deployed and pre-market, failures kept in (edge-failures), no promotion of in-progress work to delivered. No site code, no templates, no CSS, no rendering (Phase 2).

# History
|
||
|
||
**Claim.** Fifteen years of agency and product work — national campaigns, bank and broadcaster platforms, betting front-ends, and a lot of rescue missions — for twenty-two agencies and twenty-three brands.
|
||
|
||
**Status.** Historic. This is the 1999–2014 era, presented as what it was: the commercial apprenticeship that produced the range.
|
||
|
||
**What it is not.** It is not a Flash page. The languages changed six times across this period — ActionScript, PHP, JavaScript, React, Python, and now Go with HTMX — and the exhibits are chosen to show that rather than to show a decade.
|
||
|
||
**Start here.** [The engagement record](history-engagements.md) explains the eras, the work and what each exhibit demonstrates.
