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.

Anthropic for $1.5 billion - a minimum of about $3,000 for each of roughly half a million pirated books - and a Northern District of California court granted final approval in July 2026, making it the largest copyright settlement in U.S. history.

A VA Office of Inspector General review of some 8,100 automated Dependency and Indemnity Compensation decisions issued over the 12 months through August 2024 found that at least 8,000 contained a legal or procedural deficiency, that at least 2 percent carried legal errors producing an estimated $2,727,764 in improper payments, and that the fault lay in the automation rules themselves - a rule-based process, not artificial intelligence, applying predefined rules without human involvement.
