Findings / UX-032
Nothing shows real money moving
OpenHighGapnewsroom.sgit.ai
What we saw
No counts of readers, payments or revenue anywhere. A blocking finding of the synthetic-user study, still open.
Why it matters
Readers and publishers asking "is this a real business?" find no answer.
The fix
Public reader numbers (ratings, readers, payments), generated and dated.
The record
| Status | Open |
| Severity | High |
| Kind | Gap: something the reader needs is not there |
| Product | newsroom.sgit.ai, site |
| Where | https://newsroom.sgit.ai/ |
| Problems | Missing signal |
| Visibility | Silent: no symptom on screen: found only by measuring, or by its consequences |
| Recommendation | Show it up front: put the signal the reader decides by (length, author, short version, real numbers) where they look first |
| Area | Trust |
| Breaks | What a page says about the present is true now |
