Live ledger

Est. 2026 — updated weekly

Every AI money idea.
In one ledger.

Thousands of operators post “I made $X with AI doing Y” every week. It is scattered, unranked and mostly noise. This is the gather point: one line per idea, one link back to the post, and a published score you can argue with. The list is free forever. The decomposition is the product.

No judgment. No estimates. If the source didn’t state a number, the number is blank.

01 / The Index

The list, free forever.

Rank, the line, one plain sentence saying what the business actually is, the date, the platform, the category, and a permalink to the post. That is the free product and it does not expire. The money, the score, the forces and the evidence live one section down, because that is the part worth charging for.

The five forces and the money receipt are on the ranked feed — the first five rows show both.

02 / The Ranked Feed

The decomposition.

The same rows, with the parts that took the work: the figure the source stated and the period it stated it for, the GOLDRUSH Score out of 100 and the six factors behind it, the filing or post that proves it, and a plain read on whether one person could ship it inside a month. The opening rows are open in full. The rest is one subscription, no tiers.

    04 / Revenue

    Revenue of AI-native companies.
    Plus the AI revenue they disclose themselves.

    There is no “AI revenue” line in US GAAP, so nothing here is an AI share of somebody else’s business. Lane A is total revenue, as filed, for companies whose business is AI — with the filing attached to every row. Lane B is what a company says about its own AI revenue, quoted word for word. The lanes are never added together.

    How this is measured

      Standing caveat

      There is no AI-revenue tag in XBRL: no filing states an “AI” figure, so nothing on this page is estimated, attributed or modelled. A dash means the number is not derivable from a filing — never a zero. Lane B is quoted verbatim and never summed with Lane A, and no count, total or median here mixes the two tiers.

      05 / Products

      Three products.
      One of them has a price.

      The index and the letter are free and stay free. The ranked feed is the only thing on this page that costs money — and the paid lines that would have funded it are listed below, each with the reason it is gone.

      01 — The portfolio

      The line-up, and what each one earns

        02 — What we killed

        The lines that are not for sale

          03 — What it costs to run

          The running cost

          A static index is cheap to keep alive. The real expense is the weekly curation, and that one is not on the invoice.

          06 / Method

          How the index is built

          Published sources, a scheduled scan, a published formula, and one rule that does not bend: rank is never for sale.

          The paid depth is real work, not a locked folder: this bundle carries the 5 preview rows only, and the other 71 are served from an authenticated endpoint after checkout. The gate is a Worker that verifies the Stripe session, so the depth cannot be read out of this file.

          01 — Sources

          Where we look

            Only public posts. If a source stops returning data, the row stays and links to what is left.

            02 — Cadence

            When we look

            —

            —

            Each scan re-reads the source and keeps the title as a fallback. A row never ships without an https permalink, and every link is checked when the row is added. There is no nightly liveness crawl yet: if a post is deleted later, the row stays until the next rebuild replaces it.

            03 — Scoring

            The GOLDRUSH Score

            —

            Most small businesses fail. This scores the evidence behind an idea, not its odds.

            A row with no money artifact is not indexed at all, so evidence is the first gate and the largest weight. The six dimensions are public so the score can be argued with: every factor is shown for every paid row, which is the only way to check the arithmetic.

            04 — Never for sale

            Ranking is not for sale

            No payment of any kind can move a row's rank, put a row in the feed, or buy a mention in the letter. There is no sponsored row, no pinned position, no paid placement and no advertising inventory on this site — not sold, not planned, not priced. A ranking you can buy is worthless, and the audience knows it. The only thing that is for sale is the paid depth on rows that already earned their place.

            05 — No judgment

            What this is not

            GOLDRUSH indexes claims other people made and links to the post. We do not verify, endorse, recommend or audit any of them. Quoted numbers are what the source said. Nothing here is financial, legal or investment advice, and a high rank is not a signal that an idea works.
