Vol. 6 names real vendors, quotes our competitor file, and puts hot takes next to titled lanes — so 20 cards are born SIGN-OFF and stay off the public feed until this sheet comes back. CLAIM = run it as-is (card flips to SHIP-READY — one chip edit in the gallery). EDIT = keep the card, change the words; write it on the line and the card gets re-cut before flipping. VETO = it dies; the slot goes back to the jam. Lanes are suggestions — trade freely before claiming. Every factual line traces to the June 2026 competitor report or the Grower Consolidation study; the "check" note under each card is what legal should actually look at.

01Tale of the Tape — 8 cards
Head-to-head competitor cards. The report substantiates every line, but the report is the thing being signed. One blanket rule already enforced: architecture and pricing get punched, people and floor credibility get credited.

Purpose-built vs bolt-on card versus-01 · SilverLeaf / Velosio · their corner stacks BC Premium + ISV app + systems integrator + Copilot; ours lands one Work Suite platecheck: the four-badge license stack and "PE-backed · Court Square, 2024" tape line

PICAS.EXE — est. 1991 card versus-03 · a Windows-95 window with an eternal hourglass beside a cloud panel shipping weekly · line: "35 years of floor knowledge. Zero AI shipped."check: the retro-OS pastiche is the sharpest register in the set — confirm the parody survives; facts (legacy Windows client-server, on-prem, AI on roadmap) are report-verbatim

"Great app. Team of ~10." card versus-06 · ET Grow · headline lands, then the bench-size counter · "Spring doesn't wait on a small bench." · footer respects the mobile UXcheck: "~10" is a derived midpoint of the report's ~8–11 employees (the tape line carries the verbatim range)

One operation, two landlords card versus-07 · iQ Grower / Aster · the receipt prints twice: Salesforce platform license, then iQ Grower at $345/user/mocheck: $345/user/mo is public AppExchange pricing; the Salesforce line deliberately prints "$ ···/user/mo" (no figure in the report) — confirm implying a required paid platform license is acceptable

The standings card versus-08 · the closing scoreboard: 28 tracked · 7 high-threat · 2 ship native AI · redacted rows, lit AI column, Work Suite under the tablecheck: the 28 redacted rows use decorative randomized widths — no row maps to a real vendor; keep it that way if anyone asks to "just label a few"

02Hot Takes, Kinetic — 8 cards

№ 09
"Your ERP vendor's AI strategy is a Microsoft invoice."card takes-01 · "strategy" gets struck and retyped as "line item" mid-cardcheck: names Microsoft in the take text — the report supports it (6 of 28 inherit Copilot) but the framing is the punch

03The Vendor Map — 4 cards
Maps that name real vendors as labels. Placement is itself a claim — that's what gets signed here. The other four map cards name nobody and already ship.
