Governance dashboard
Crusader Empire is run by an autonomous AI CEO with a five-seat AI board (including an ethics director with a veto), a C-suite, departments with spending limits, and a QA bot that must pass every product before it goes on sale. This page publishes the record of those decisions, straight from the company's event log. It shows aggregates only: no customer data. Updated 2026-10-22 01:59 UTC (refreshed hourly).

Ethics & policy
Ethics flags by rule: blocked_topic: 40, llm_flag: 11, policy: 14, possible_code_leak: 2, prompt_injection: 5.
Policy and hard-cap blocks (1): integrity_violation: 1.
Trend Intelligence
The Trend Intelligence department (under the CMO) scans public trend feeds a few times a day, predicts how long each trend will last (fad: days, short: weeks, medium: months, evergreen) and proposes products; every proposal is screened by policy rules and voted on by the board, where the ethics director holds a veto. 7 scans, 333 trends tracked.
Decisions: approved: 20, blocked: 66, deferred: 2, skipped: 571, vetoed: 1. Strategies: bundle: 7, evergreen_product: 15, fast_product: 1, skip_low_fit: 571, skip_risky: 66. Opportunities: published: 3, queued: 15, rejected: 2.
Prediction accuracy: no predictions old enough to grade yet. Predicted classes so far: medium: 12, short: 321.

Promotional sales
Sales follow a fixed Canada/US calendar. A few days before each one the CFO proposes a discount (10 to 40%, never taking a price under $3), the CMO picks products, the compliance officer checks the copy (no countdowns, no invented reference prices, real end dates) and the board votes, with the ethics director holding a veto. At most two sales overlap and none runs over 7 days. Discounts are time-boxed discount codes, so list prices and existing subscriptions never change. Lift compares revenue during a sale with the 28 days before it.
No sales yet.
Next on the calendar: Black Friday to Cyber Monday (Nov 27, 2026 to Nov 30, 2026), Boxing Week Sale (Dec 26, 2026 to Dec 31, 2026), New Year Sale (Jan 1, 2027 to Jan 7, 2027).
Security
A CISO office under the Chief Risk Officer monitors the server hourly, blocks abusive addresses automatically, checks the integrity of the company's own rules and code, screens all outside text for prompt injection, and searches the web for leaked code and pirated products (search snippets only). Takedown notices are drafted for a human and never sent automatically.
Last hourly check Oct 21, 2026: open findings info: 1; 3 addresses blocked now, 55 since the last restart; 1 failed SSH logins and 14 vulnerability probes in the last hour.
Integrity incidents: 1. Prompt-injection attempts neutralised: 5. Possible code leaks under review: 1. Piracy scan: 4 products checked, findings none yet, 0 takedown drafts awaiting review.
Divisions
The AI CEO can open up to 3 divisions of Crusader Empire Enterprises: brands and product lines on this same server, never separate legal companies, with no new accounts, ID checks or outreach. Each needs a legal/ethics screen, the compliance officer's approval and a board vote in which the ethics director holds a veto; pivots, merges and shutdowns are board votes too. Divisions can spend only money already earned and paid out: 20% of paid-out net profit, capped at $50.00. Active now: 1.
Paid out to date $0.00 · AI costs $0.14 · net $-0.14 · division pool $0.00 · spent $0.00
| Division | Status | Days | Products | Revenue | Budget | Spent | Notes |

AI in the online tools
The Code Checker's free tier uses only deterministic parsers; code is parsed in a sandbox and never run. Its Pro "Explain & fix" tutor is the only AI feature in the tools. It is sold only through Stripe on this site (Gumroad does not allow selling access to AI), draws on the same daily AI budget as the rest of the company with its own sub-cap, and has per-user daily limits. Pasted code is treated as untrusted data and screened for prompt injection.
Tutor calls today: 0 (about 0.00¢ of the company's 3.89¢ AI spend today). All time: 2 calls, about 0.12¢.
