The corrections
12 claims that did not survive checking.
Each of these was said out loud, written into a draft, or assumed true. Each was checked, and did not hold. They are recorded here rather than deleted, so that none of them can quietly reappear in a deck three weeks from now — which is exactly how a careful firm acquires a bad number.
The first group is about the world: the market, the record, the people. The second is about our own systems, and it is the harder list to publish. Both groups matter for the same reason — several of these corrections apply to material that the people presenting this were about to present. Catching them here is cheaper than catching them in the room.
About the market, the record and the people · 7
Stale. Indigenous Services Canada’s live database says 619.
Misstated. 27 is the count of modern treaties, covering roughly 97 communities.
Wrong figure. $19B CAD 2023–2027, announced 9 Dec 2025. $12B is likely a mangled USD conversion.
Not yet. TEDxVictoria, 7 October 2026 — still in the future.
Understated. The UFA was signed 29 May 1993 — 33 years.
Could not be verified. Do not state it.
Unsourced. Verified alternatives: 344 ANC-owned 8(a) firms FY2011–14 (GAO); ASRC alone reports 110+ operating companies.
About our own systems · 5
Zero programmatic API calls exist in the repository. Records were retrieved by agent-driven and manual research, then preserved and hash-manifested. Say "preserved primary-source records," not "wired integrations."
404 in production. Unmerged branch.
No artifact produces either number. Replaced with verified figures.
2 of 22 layers, Vancouver Island only.
No measurement source found anywhere. Removed from all materials.
The second group is the one that earns the first. Anybody will publish a list of other people’s errors. Publishing the ones in your own demo is the part that is checkable.
The sources
12 sources, listed against what each one carries.
Where the source is a published document it is linked directly. Where it is an agency record or a court decision, it is cited by issuing body and date so it can be pulled without going through us.
The thesis
The frame for this company is not ours. It is quoted, attributed and linked.

The record
Chapter 11 of the Umbrella Final Agreement, and what has been funded against it.
2Canada allocated up to $7.428 million — in 1992 dollars — for all Yukon regional planning commissions. The annual operating budget for the Yukon Land Use Planning Council is $447,519, also in 1992 dollars.

When Yukon tried to override the Peel plan, the Supreme Court of Canada quashed it — finding the Crown had acted in a manner "not becoming of the honour of the Crown."

Ownership and procurement risk
The structural warning is the most consequential material on the site, so it carries the most citation.

How this was assembled
Where research contradicted the meeting, research won.
The material started as a recorded conversation. From that transcript, five research passes ran in parallel — the land use planning record, the market and funding structure, the procurement and ownership rules, the Microsoft and distributor channel, and the people named on the site.
The result was then put through an adversarial decision council rather than a review: a panel briefed to argue against the plan, not to improve it. It returned a RESHAPE verdict. The reshaping it forced is visible on the site — the addressable market was corrected downward, the recurring-revenue thesis was narrowed to the governments that can lawfully sign for it, and the marquee work was moved out of the first ninety days.
Separately, every claim about our own capability was checked against the running systems on the day this was compiled, rather than against memory or a previous deck. That probe is what produced the second group of corrections above, including a page we believed was live and is not.
The rule that governed all of it is the one stated at the top: research beats recollection, and a claim that cannot be checked does not render. That is not caution for its own sake. In a market that has just watched federal contracts meant for Indigenous businesses go to firms that could not survive an audit, the ability to be checked is the product.
Nothing on this site asks to be believed.
