# G01 — Existing-evidence audit and corrected baseline **Stage:** G01 **Completed:** 2026-07-29T23:10:49.553142-04:00 **Scope:** Existing May, June, and July Gary Vaynerchuk materials; the selected first-party Plaud excerpts; and the mislabeled attention-deck download. No broad public-source acquisition was repeated. ## Executive baseline The existing materials contain a useful strategic hypothesis, but they do **not** yet prove a 75–100-piece daily operating model, Gary's current team/org chart, his exact production stack, or the business outcomes of high-volume publishing. The strongest evidence is the February 22, 2026 Gary Vaynerchuk keynote transcript retrieved through Brad's authorized Plaud account. It directly establishes what Gary said about **platforms and handles**, locality/identity-led handles, native contextualization across platforms, and his self-reported 343-post day. Those remarks are first-party speech, but numerical output, algorithm behavior, market-share forecasts, and causal outcomes remain **Gary self-report or strategic opinion**, not independently verified fact. The May and June research files are useful orientation documents, not claim-grade evidence bases. They have little or no inline claim-to-source mapping, combine first- and third-party sources, and contain volatile 2025–2026 platform, pricing, staffing, tool, and account-status assertions that require a current source ledger before implementation. The downloaded file named `gary-attention-deck.pdf` is conclusively **not a PDF**: it is 6,312,262 bytes and begins `
