# AI Mastery Self-Audit: Evidence Ledger

This public mirror supports the self-audit’s linked evidence trail. The version-controlled source is the [canonical ledger in the repository](https://github.com/virtualmase/ai-mastery/blob/main/docs/ai-mastery-self-audit-evidence.md). Both records must be updated together when the case study is rechecked.

**Audit scope:** AI Mastery’s public website and public GitHub repository. This ledger records implementation and publication evidence observed on **2026-08-27**. It does not assess commercial results, search performance, learner outcomes, security posture, or the truth of claims made by linked third parties.

## Explicit Unknowns

| ID | Unknown | Why it remains unknown |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AM-U01 | Organic search impressions, rankings, citations, and referrals. | No Search Console, analytics, or independent crawl measurement was provided or inspected in this audit. |
| AM-U02 | Reader comprehension, learner completion, or practical use. | No consented user-research record, survey, or learning-outcome study was provided. |
| AM-U03 | Revenue, commercial conversion, customer outcomes, or product-market fit. | The audit covers public repository and site records, not financial or customer-evidence records. |
| AM-U04 | Security, accessibility, performance, legal, privacy, or compliance posture. | Static route and structural validation do not constitute a professional assessment in any of those disciplines. |

## Evidence Handling Rule

Facts on the self-audit page must link to a stable repository, deployment, or live-site source. Interpretations must be labelled as interpretations. The case-study framework organizes review work; it does not certify a property or guarantee an outcome. Any performance or outcome statement remains absent until a dated, inspectable source and accountable review owner are available.
