Most software companies hide behind glossy pitch decks and quietly delete unflattering posts. We've gone the other direction: everything you'd want to verify before signing up is published, dated, and linked from this page. Use it to audit us. If something's missing, tell us — we'll add it.
We didn't build all this trust infrastructure because we're moral idealists. We built it because we couldn't compete with incumbents on roster size, marketing budget, or App Store presence. So the studio bet was simple: out-transparent every competitor in the category. None of the eleven coaching platforms on our /vs/ pages publishes a public roadmap. None publishes a real changelog. Most don't post their refund terms in plain language. We do all of it. If you want to verify a software studio is real before you trust them with your business, this page is the audit kit.
Each tile below links to a public document or surface. They are dated. They are accurate. They were built before we needed them, not in response to a complaint.
If we go quiet, this page tells you. If we ship, this page proves it. Currently on v0.4.7 with 50+ dated entries since launch.
View changelog →Shipped recently, building now, next up, considering. Items in "considering" are explicitly allowed to die — we'd rather list them than fake a flawless prioritization engine.
View roadmap →Six publishing standards: real coach, verified customer, coach signed off, checkable numbers, mixed results allowed, and FTC material-connection disclosure on every founding-coach review.
View reviews →HTTPS site-wide, encrypted at rest, least-privilege access. Honest about what we are not (HIPAA-compliant). Sub-processors hold SOC 2 Type II.
View security →Standard well-known security.txt with disclosure contacts, 90-day coordinated-disclosure policy, and safe-harbor language for good-faith researchers.
View security.txt →Programmatic audit on every deploy + monthly screen-reader review. Public list of known gaps and remediation plans. Public report channel — no boilerplate "we strive to" language.
View accessibility →14-day setup-fee refund, no questions asked. 30-day money-back on subscription. Both posted in plain language. No exit interview required.
View refund terms →Plain-language. Per-jurisdiction rights enumeration (GDPR, UK-GDPR, CCPA/CPRA). Real retention schedules. Specific named vendors — not generic "service providers" boilerplate.
View privacy →Honest summary card. Texas governing law. Founding-coach pricing-lock cannot be unilaterally modified. Liability cap stated in plain numbers.
View terms →Factsheet, 95-word boilerplate, brand asset downloads, four-route inquiry inbox grid, podcast criteria. Anonymous-by-design rules baked in.
View press kit →$199 setup + $39/mo locked for life of account, in exchange for written testimonial at 60 days. Cap is enforced — when slot 25 fills, the offer closes.
View founding tier →Why the studio operates anonymously. Why we don't take outside funding. Why we won't add features that don't make sense. Public commitments we'd be embarrassed to break.
View principles →GDPR + CCPA compliant cookie consent gate. Trackers don't fire until you opt in. Global Privacy Control honored automatically. Click here to revisit your choices.
Manage cookies →We built this audit during the legal-compliance pass on May 2, 2026. Every claim below is verifiable on each platform's public website as of that date.

If a competitor has shipped any of the above and we have it marked as missing, email hello@vantagedigital.app with the URL and we'll correct the table within 7 days. We'd rather be wrong publicly than wrong secretly.
