How Kasspian reads,measured.
Every page here carries counts, verdicts and quotes. This is what each one rests on, where the data comes from, how often it is wrong when a person checks, and the four words that tell a reading from a fact.
Four words.What a claim rests on.
- Observed
- Fetched or checked directly. The link or the date is beside it.
- Calculated
- Worked out from observed data by a rule we state.
- Inferred
- Our reading, a model's or a person's. It can be wrong in a way a link cannot.
- Unverified
- Plausible and not checked. Treat it as a question.
Where they show
On a plan: the rooms, the threads, the reply checks and the arithmetic. On an idea report: each rival, the gap, each market tier, the persona and each quote. On the rooms table: the basis under every verdict. In the Claude and ChatGPT connector: an Evidence line on every answer.
Rooms.Rules, removals, then our reading.
Where the words come from
A public mirror of Reddit, arctic-shift, never the Reddit API. For each room it serves the numbered rules list and the sidebar as copies captured on a date it reports; that capture date sits beside ours on every room page, because a rule can change after the copy was taken. The 58 founder rooms were last read live on 29 Oct 2026.
What a verdict rests on
In this order, and each verdict names which: Observedthe room's own rule, quoted whole; Observedthe room's own comment setting; Calculatedremovals we counted; Inferreda model's reading of the room's last 60 posts. Rooms outside the 58 get the last of these, made at the moment you ask, and the answer says so.
Posts still up
Of a room’s newest posts of the last 7 days, at most 100, read from the mirror on 4 Nov 2026: how many moderators or Reddit had not removed. Author deletions are left out of both sides. Posts AutoModerator was holding are counted apart, because some rooms approve them later. It is a snapshot of posts 0 to 7 days old at the read, not the share that survives a week, and the mirror can lag a removal by hours.
Asks
Of a room’s posts in the counted 30 days, how many read as someone asking for help by the same rule the product runs: a question shape in the title or the first paragraph (“how do I”, “any recommendations”, “struggling with”), never a launch, a brag or a bot. A post that asks and announces counts as an ask. Unanswered means no reply when counted. A published number by a different rule than the engine’s would be a marketing number, so there is one rule.
Only people asking,checked by hand.
What it does
Each morning and every hour through the day the finder reads the rooms a plan names and keeps the threads whose words overlap the business. A small model then reads each one and answers one question: is this person asking for what the business sells? Since 9 Oct 2026 the gate is strict: a thread the model refuses is kept and sunk, never deleted, so how often the finder picks a thread its own reader rejects stays measurable.
How it is checked
Every week a person reads a sample of the threads the gate kept, in full, and labels each one: asking to buy, the same problem without an ask, or neither. Each miss becomes a rule the gate learns from, and the next sample checks the rule worked. That is how the gate learned the kind of thing each product is, and the near things it is not.
What the gate looks for
- A sentence where the person asks for a tool, a service or a recommendation, quoted from their own post.
- The same kind of thing the product is, never a near thing it is not.
- Not a vendor promoting their own tool, not a job seeker, not someone asking how to do it themselves.
- Someone who has the problem and asks for nothing is counted, never sent a reply.
Replies.Checked from outside, three times, then daily.
Is it still up
After a reply goes up, Kasspian reads Reddit’s public comment embed, logged out, at 1 hour, 24 hours and 48 hours, then each morning. Measured 9 Oct 2026 on 285 comments: the embed shows the author and the words of a live comment (267 of 267) and neither for a removed or deleted one (12 of 12 that loaded). It cannot tell a removal from a deletion, so the product says “No longer visible”, never “Removed”. When the embed is ambiguous the answer is unknown, because a false “gone” email is the one outcome this must never produce.
Was it posted
Kasspian never posts for anyone. After you press Copy and open it re-reads the thread at 3, 12, 45, 180 and 480 minutes and marks the reply posted when your comment appears, matched by your Reddit name or, failing that, by its words at a 0.6 overlap. A reply you paste a link for is verified from the same embed. Both are marked observed, with how they were seen.
Idea reports.Rivals read, gaps inferred.
What is checked
Rivals are named by a web search and each claim about one is kept only when its page was in the results; a price we could not confirm shows as “not shown”, never a guess. Quotes under “In their own words” are copied from a linked post, never paraphrased, and dated when the post is. Market tiers show their working under each bar and say when a count or a price is sourced and when it is our estimate.
What is a reading
The gap, the persona, the verdict and the score. A gap is a claim about what the search did not find, so it is marked inferred however confident the sentence sounds. The sample report on this site is an invented idea in the real format, and its crumb says so.
Changes.What moved, with the date.
- 6 Nov 2026. The fit gate knows what KIND of thing each product is and the near things it is NOT, so someone asking for a podcast to listen to is never sent a reply about a podcast tracker.
- 6 Nov 2026. Three verdicts: ASKING (a lead), PROBLEM (has the problem, asks for nothing; counted, never pitched), TALK (left alone).
- 6 Nov 2026. Replies are written in the founder’s own register: two verbatim sentences from their site and a never-say line they can edit.
- 6 Nov 2026. Each room on a plan shows how many people asked there in the read and the newest ask’s title.
- 6 Nov 2026. Busy rooms are read a full week deep, every hour, however many posts a day they carry.
- 6 Nov 2026. Room discovery names the destination, device and platform rooms where the asking happens (r/MexicoTravel, r/ThailandTourism, r/Windows11), and the platform forums small businesses use, like the Shopify Community.
- 6 Nov 2026. Every number on a plan, an idea report and this site carries one of four words: observed, calculated, inferred, unverified.
- 29 Oct and 4 Nov 2026. The 58 rooms’ rules re-read live; the newest posts re-counted.
What none of this proves
- A room marked open can still remove you. Rooms enforce by behaviour; the read is of rules and of what survived.
- A buyer thread is someone asking. Whether they buy from you is yours to earn.
- A still-up count is a snapshot of posts 0 to 7 days old, not a survival rate for yours.
- The mirror snapshots at ingest and missed 3 of 20 later removals in our test, which is why replies are checked against Reddit itself.
