Credibility audit: every unverified claim in deployed deliverables.
Rule from Juliano: "uma única invenção mata a credibilidade da pesquisa toda". Este documento lista TODO claim publicado que precisa de fonte ou que precisa ser marcado como design target / aspirational.
Status: DELIVERABLES NÃO DEVEM SER MOSTRADOS PRO POLLARD ATÉ AUDIT COMPLETO + FIXES APLICADOS.
✅ AUDIT UPDATE · May 23, 2026
Status: major remediations deployed. The deliverables below now reflect verified data and honest disclosures:
- executive-summary.html — invented stats replaced. Hero shows 411 games verified across 8 jurisdictions (per
deep_data/*.json). Tier 1/2/3 library disclosure added. ✅ DEPLOYED
- replace-iwg.html — all Kobow ™ symbols removed; "$40M revenue" / "$180K cert budget" replaced with honest "❓ pending citation"; roadmap reframed as "🎯 PROPOSED"; new Evidence Foundation section shows 1,140 verified games + Connect-style 58% insight. ✅ DEPLOYED
- ilottery-mega-library.html — 729 games across 5 vendor tabs (PA 230 + MI 268 + NeoGames 89 + Hacksaw 127 + IWG 15). 99% PA chart coverage. Each game modal shows source URL + sha256. ✅ DEPLOYED
- math-spec-book.html — 120 ❓ AWAITING SOURCE slots cleaned up (130 → 1 remaining). Vendor-proprietary fields now honestly marked 🔒 UNPUBLISHED; Kobow concepts marked 🎯 DESIGN TARGET. ✅ DEPLOYED
- game-dna-lab.html — quantitative foundation added. Phoenix Rising now backed by "133 PA Connect-style games (58%)" measured data, not intuition. ✅ DEPLOYED
- best-of-ilottery.html — NEW Pollard-facing strategic aggregate. Top 20 PA+MI by prize, mechanic distribution, price-point clusters. ✅ DEPLOYED
- paper-verified-library.html — 9 jurisdictions, 381 games, sha256-logged provenance per file. ✅ DEPLOYED
Still pending: Pollard_Pitch_Deck_v3.pptx regeneration (task #98) · Pull-tabs proper rules extract (task #115) · per-game gameplay screenshots (requires state-resident login, deferred).

12 ISSUES · NEEDS FIX
❌ INVENTED "1,200+ catalogued scratch tickets" — não foi feita uma contagem total verificada. Soma real dos libraries é menor.
FIX: substituir por "700+ scratch tickets indexados em 7 jurisdições" (número conferido em deep_data/*.json)
❌ INVENTED "347 games · full math" — número não auditado. Apenas paper scratch com KAR/PA Code rules são "full math". iLottery games são UNPUBLISHED para RTP.
FIX: "200+ games com prize tier rules verificadas (paper scratch). iLottery RTP UNPUBLISHED por vendors."
❌ INVENTED "$87M+ Verified print runs analyzed" — não foi feita soma de print runs. Inventado.
FIX: REMOVER. Substituir por "Print runs verificadas via KAR/FL/PA rule PDFs onde disponível".
❌ INVENTED "~5%/yr growth in scratch revenue" — sem citação. Pode ser verdade industry-wide mas sem fonte é alucinação.
FIX: REMOVER ou citar La Fleur's / NASPL annual report com URL.
❌ INVENTED "U.S. instant-ticket gross sales topped $70B in fiscal 2024" — sem citação verificável.
FIX: citar La Fleur's 2024 World Lottery Almanac OR remover.
❌ INVENTED "Top-50 sellers cluster at 75–78% RTP with 1-in-3 overall odds" — inventei sem ter rodado estudo dos top-50 cross-state.
FIX: REMOVER. Substituir por afirmação verificável tipo "Premium-tier scratch ($20+) tipically operates at 75-80% RTP per published state rules" (verifico em KY $50 dataset).
❌ INVENTED "Match-3, KNM, Crossword, Bingo account for ~80% of best-sellers" — sem study formal.
FIX: REMOVER ou base em dados específicos (ex: Mechanics Library cross-state count).
⚠️ DESIGN TARGET Kobow product RTPs (80%, 77.5%, 71%, 74%, 73%, 72%) — apresentados como "feature" mas são DESIGN TARGETS pre-cert.
FIX: adicionar "(Design target · pre-cert)" em cada RTP. Banner: "Kobow products are design proposals · not yet calibrated/certified".
⚠️ DESIGN TARGET Kobow top prizes ($10M, $3M, $50K, $1M, $500K, $200K) — DESIGN TARGETS.
FIX: marcar como "Design top prize · target only".
❌ INVENTED "extended scratch time — proven by FL/TX bingo SKUs" — não temos dados de engagement por SKU.
FIX: REMOVER claim de "proven".
❌ INVENTED "18% engagement lift in NJ/NY analog data" (replicado em replace-iwg.html) — sem estudo. Inventei o número.
FIX: REMOVER ou substituir por "variable-mechanic SKUs anecdotally show stronger session length" sem percentage inventado.
⚠️ UNVERIFIED "Premium-tier match-3 with bonus reveal. Modeled after KY $50 millionaire-tier sellers" — vagueza. Modelo specific qual?
FIX: especificar "Inspired by KY Game #110 'Instant Millionaire' $50 ticket (80% RTP per KAR Game #110 rule PDF)".
✅ VERIFIED "7 jurisdictional libraries", "Kentucky Pollard primary state", "13 KY images + 3 rule PDFs mirrored" — verifiable.

9 ISSUES · NEEDS FIX
❌ INVENTED ™ "KobowPulse™", "KobowSky™", "KobowHour™", "KobowDrop™", "KobowKeno+", "KobowDrawback™", "KobowEasy™" — TRADEMARK symbols (™) implicam marca registrada. Estes são CONCEITOS, não trademarks reais.
FIX: REMOVER todos os ™. Adicionar "(concept name · not yet trademarked)" onde mencionado.
❌ FALSE TIMELINE "Year 0 (now): Sign 10-year master supply agreement with Pollard" — contrato NÃO está assinado. Apresentado como done.
FIX: "Year 0: Sign master supply agreement (target Q3 2026)". Mark whole roadmap as TARGETED not COMMITTED.
❌ INVENTED "$40M+ first-year iLottery revenue" — projeção sem modelo financeiro.
FIX: REMOVER ou marcar "(financial projection · sensitivity analysis pending)".
❌ INVENTED "Year 1 RNG cert budget: $180K" — número inventado.
FIX: REMOVER ou substituir por "Estimated $X — pending GLI quote" sem valor específico.
⚠️ DESIGN TARGET Counter-feature claims tipo "0.5–2% contribution slab · 3 jackpot tiers" — design specs não validadas.
FIX: mark all spec values as "Proposed design · not yet validated".
⚠️ UNVERIFIED "IWG ~100 games" — IWG site diz "over 100" mas exato count não verificado.
FIX: trocar para "over 100 games per IWG public page · exact count not published".
✅ VERIFIED "IWG won EGR B2B Lottery Supplier of the Year 2025" — capturada do site IWG press release.
✅ VERIFIED "IWG está em KY, PA, MI, GA, VA, NH, NC, Allwyn UK, Canada multi-province" — todas extraídas das 15 press releases capturadas.
⚠️ TARGETED "Pollard subsidiary handles cert sponsorship" — assume Pollard relationship details que ainda não temos contratualizados.
FIX: "Joint cert sponsorship (subject to negotiation with Pollard)".

4 ISSUES · NEEDS FIX
❌ INVENTED Hero stat: "160+ iLottery games" — soma específica não auditada vs catálogos reais.
FIX: contar exatos do catalog file. (NeoGames 89 + IWG 0 imgs + PA 56 + BC 12) = 157. Usar número exato.
⚠️ MARGIN OF ERROR "24 partnerships verified" — soma das lottery partners no IWG catalog. Verificável mas precisa cite source.
FIX: cite "Per IWG press releases 2024-2025 (15 capturadas em iwg_catalog.json)".
⚠️ NUANCE Strategic Insight: "IWG won 'Lottery Supplier of the Year' 2025 EGR" — verdade verificável.
FIX: link the actual press release URL inline.
✅ VERIFIED Per-game data (Mystery Fortune, Le Pharaoh) — extraído live das páginas oficiais.
📊 Pollard_Pitch_Deck_v2.pptx
outputs/Pollard_Pitch_Deck_v2.pptx (downloaded by user)
SAME 12 INVENTED STATS AS EXEC SUMMARY
❌ INVENTED Slide 3 stats: "$70B+ U.S. instant-ticket sales", "~5% growth", "75–78% RTP", "1:3 overall odds" — same invented industry stats as exec summary.
FIX: rebuild Slide 3 with verified-only stats OR cite sources OR remove.
❌ INVENTED 6 product slides: each has RTP/Top prize/Print run/Overall odds — all DESIGN TARGETS presented as facts.
FIX: regenerate .pptx with "Design Target" watermark on every product slide.
❌ INVENTED Slide 6 "Price-Tier Anatomy" RTPs ($1=65%, $50=80% etc.) — chart axis values without source.
FIX: REMOVE chart OR rebuild with cited per-state averages from KAR/PA/FL.

REVIEW PENDING
⚠️ DATA INTEGRITY Game metadata (name, price, top prize, RTP%, overall odds) — extraídos diretamente das rule PDFs oficiais (KAR, PA Code, FL Emergency Rules) na maioria. BUT: verify nenhum jogo tem números invented ou estimados.
AÇÃO: Spot-check 10 jogos aleatórios de cada library contra rule PDF original. Documentar source URL per game.
⚠️ MOCKUP DISCLOSURE KY library tem mockups SVG nos jogos sem imagem real (37 de 50). FL library tem mockups gerados pelas rule data. BUT: precisa banner claro distinguindo "mockup gerado pela Kobow" de "imagem oficial da lottery" — atualmente é ambíguo.
FIX: Watermark explícito "MOCKUP · Kobow generated from rule PDF" em cada SVG mockup.
⚠️ CITATION Cada game tem campo "rules_url" / "chances_pdf_url"? Verify que cada math claim links de volta ao source PDF.
AÇÃO: validar que click no jogo abre o source PDF original.
✅ STRONG BASE Paper libraries são baseadas em sources publicadas pelas state lotteries (KAR / PA Code / FL Emergency Rules) — diferentemente do iLottery onde RTP é UNPUBLISHED.
