01Why this exists

Every agency claims results. Almost none can be checked. In automation and AI-ops, where the field is young and the buyers are non-technical, that gap is expensive. TIN closes it.

for buyers

Stop guessing.

Verified before/after numbers from real engagements, with the client confirmed and the method on record.

for agencies

Proof beats marketing.

Turn a great project into a verified, citable asset that ranks in search and gets quoted by AI answer engines.

for the AI era

Be the cited source.

When someone asks ChatGPT "who's best at ops automation?", the answer comes from somewhere. TIN is built to be that source.

02How a badge is earned

Three checks clear before a green badge appears. If any fails, the story stays unverified. No exceptions, that rule is the whole product.

step 01

Independently validated

We re-research the story and check every figure against primary and independent sources before it can go green.

step 02

Evidence on record

Every number is backed by something checkable: a followable source, before/after metrics, documentation. No adjectives.

step 03

Method published

How each story was verified ships on the story itself. The record is public, not a claim in fine print.

After a December 2023 backlash over a default-on 'third-party AI' setting, Dropbox said customer data is never used to train OpenAI's models and is deleted within 30 days

In December 2023, Dropbox users — including AWS CTO Werner Vogels — discovered a 'third-party AI' toggle turned on by default in account settings and feared their files were being fed to OpenAI as AI-training data. Dropbox responded publicly: CEO Drew Houston said no setting automatically or passively sends customer data to a third-party AI service, while a Dropbox help/FAQ page stated the data is never used to train OpenAI's internal models and is deleted within 30 days. This is an AI-data clarification/denial and settings-UX response, not a reversal of a training practice.

On July 1, 2026, HubSpot's updated terms took effect to support a new 'Contact Discovery' feature and a shared data-enrichment dataset, under which customer data could be used to train HubSpot's AI models unless turned off; independent press reported participation was on by default. After sustained backlash, HubSpot fully reversed the change on July 5, 2026, with its Chief Product and Technology Officer stating 'We made a mistake'.
