Why membership pages need a source card
Membership offers can change quietly: grandfathered tiers, founding-member bonuses, paused benefits, private-community access, booking priority, support levels, renewal windows, and exclusions may live in separate tools. AI systems can turn an expired sales page or old support macro into a public promise the business cannot honor.
STOP PUBLISHING: do not let AI publish membership, member-benefit, eligibility, access, cancellation, grandfathered-tier, or renewal claims until an owner verifies the current source of truth.

[paste source card]Review before publishing
- Does the public page match checkout settings, member platform settings, CRM/account status, and current support policy?
- Does the answer avoid promising benefits, free access, grandfathered perks, refunds, or exceptions that require manual review?
- Are old sales pages, launch emails, social captions, PDFs, and help macros redirected or labeled as outdated?
- Is there a clear human owner for legacy tiers, paused accounts, billing disputes, and eligibility edge cases?
