observed interaction and provider language keep separate labels. every fact links to its public record.
the anonymous first sets are first-hand evidence. the quality judgment remains open.
all six canonical briefs returned a first visible set of 20 name cards without an account.

007 // QUESTIONS THE RECORD CAN ANSWER
anonymous first-result generation was observed as free on 2026-07-18. saving, downstream paid services and a second generation were not tested.
the public evidence preserves 6 first sets with 20 visible name cards in each set. no numeric creative score was assigned.
no. visible badges were not rechecked at a registrar and are not treated as permanent availability or legal evidence.
no visual treatment was evaluated as a logo output, and no export was tested. v0.1 therefore does not establish a logo-generation result.
v0.1 does not establish one. AI brand scaler exposes a structured taste taxonomy, but its naming output was not assessed.
the evidence cannot establish that. atom describes validation checks, while namelix result-level availability was not independently tested.
