# Kickstarter AI Disclosure Draft

## AI technology used

Blaze uses AI-assisted reasoning to summarize live system state, draft recommendation language, and help operators evaluate policy or rollout decisions. The platform is designed around human review, bounded controls, canary-style evaluation, and auditable receipts.

## How AI output is used

AI output is used as decision-support material, not as an uncontrolled live mutation layer. Operators can approve, defer, reject, or override recommendations. The app records receipts for these actions so the decision trail remains inspectable.

## Data sources

The live proof path uses GrowHouse-owned system signals and public/first-party project telemetry. Commerce and enterprise scenarios use seeded demo data and are labeled as simulations. Future Shopify connections are intended to use merchant-authorized data through Shopify-approved APIs and scopes.

## Original work

The product concept, interface, data model, control workflow, recommendation/receipt structure, and simulation scenarios are original to the Blaze/GrowHouse ecosystem build.

## Transparency statement

The current prototype includes working software and clearly labeled simulations. Shopify OAuth, production webhooks, billing, and full App Store review rails are not presented as live until implemented.
