David's approach: Proof page should feel like a Treasury or JPM document, not a startup landing

David scrapped the first cut of the verified-credentials proof page because the fonts and cream-paper styling read as amateur, and asked for a redesign whose visual register matches a Wall Street bank or US Treasury document.


After two design passes, David rejected the proof page's visual authority:

the page still doesnt feel like JPM, Treasury type level of arbiter of truth and authority. spawn the agents again to go and brainstorm a completely new design philosophy. the fonts and shit are screaming amateur hour. no ones gonna respect this as is. launch 10 agents

He also caught a contradiction in the proof copy that undercut the document's authority:

"IT IS NOT A REPRESENTATION OF EMPLOYMENT, ACCREDITATION OR ENDORSEMENT BY ANY THIRD PARTY." this discredits the authority of us no?

The target register is institutional: a document a recruiter would treat as evidence, not a marketing artifact.
