If you're at Linear and any claim is wrong, this is where to flag it.

The strategy is built on 386 Reddit posts (deduplicated across r/Linear, r/webdev, r/ProductManagement, r/SaaS, r/startups, r/programming, captured via Apify Reddit Scraper) and 15 LLM responses across 5 models (Claude Opus 4.7, ChatGPT GPT-5.4-pro, Gemini 3.1-pro-preview, Perplexity Sonar Pro, Grok 4.20. Each running Q1, Q2, Q3 via OpenRouter API). Plus verbatim captures of linear.app (homepage, pricing, about, customers, /now/ai, /next, changelog pages). Capture date: 23 May 2026. G2 and Trustpilot review data is not used in any strategy claim on this audit, so it is documented as excluded rather than substituted with unverified data. The full research record is browsable on the research page.

If something is materially wrong, a quote misattributed, a number that doesn't trace, a positioning read Linear disagrees with, reply by email and it gets corrected.

What to include in your reply

The verbatim claim. Copied from the strategy page, the research page, or one of the PDF deliverables.
What is wrong about it. A material fact, an outdated number, a misattributed quote, a positioning read Linear disputes, etc. Specifics over feelings.
What it should say instead. With a source we can cite. (Press release URL, linear.app product page, changelog entry, blog post, founder talk, etc.)
Your role at Linear, for the correction log. ("Comms team," "Engineering manager," "Product lead", first name is fine.)

What happens next

Within 24 hours. I acknowledge receipt and confirm I'll act on the flag (or ask follow-up questions if the claim isn't yet specific enough to act on).
Within 48 hours of acknowledgement. The strategy and research pages are updated, and a dated correction note is appended to this page.
If the correction is material. The v1 strategy is rolled forward to v1.1 (or higher) with a public changelog. The Tier 1 source record is updated. Anyone who downloaded the earlier PDF gets the updated link via the same email address.
If the correction reveals a gap in the Audit Verification Workflow itself. The workflow is amended and the change is logged in SecondBrain/business/rational-magic-docs/audit-verification-workflow.md. The workflow is versioned and built specifically to catch claim-without-verification failures at the synthesis layer.

What's welcome

A different read on the Hidden Enemy or Shadow Side. Those are interpretive, and a counter-read from Linear lands here on the record verbatim.

Evidence we missed. Updated user counts, funding, valuation, employee headcount, agent-feature adoption rates, customer-success metrics. Send the source and it goes into the next mining cycle.

A pointer to a fresher version of the homepage, pricing, customers, or changelog page if those have changed since 23 May 2026.
