Preserving prior work makes the current system auditable and prevents repeated reinvention, while lifecycle labels keep old ideas from being presented as active.
Purpose
History contains product experiments, research methods, architecture changes and commercial transitions that influenced the current Factory.
What changed, and why
SaSame's company identity has moved through several superseded models before arriving at the current one-Factory definition: an owner-curated consulting studio, a dental-practice vertical, a free pilot, several flat and tiered pricing experiments, a nine-business multichannel approach, a "Passport-first" identity centered on verification artifacts, an "Activity-First" strategy, and — most recently — a standalone "independent observatory and evidence layer" framing (the direct predecessor of today's identity).
Each transition is preserved, not deleted, because it explains a real constraint that was learned the hard way: narrow verticals (dental) didn't generalize, flat/tiered pricing without a clear unit of value didn't hold, and treating observation as a standalone product undersold what the system actually does. The July 2026 Factory identity folded observation/evidence into a production lifecycle; the August 2026 institution model keeps that Factory as a station while making Research, Missions, Evidence, Knowledge and Meta-Evolution first-class.
Boundary and limitations
History is evidence of what was attempted or published, not proof that the same capability is available today. None of the superseded pricing figures, verticals, or identity framings above describe a current offer — see Pricing for the live plan ladder.

Passport-first positioning remains searchable as a superseded model without becoming a current product identity.
