DBM LAB // PROOF IN PROGRESS

We show the repair while we build it.

Digital Business Mechanic is a working example of the system it sells. This page records the starting point, the change, the measurement limit, and the next human decision. It is not a client case study.

THREE PROOF CARDS

What changed, what we measured, what happened next.

01 // WHAT CHANGED

One shared front door

Homepage and interior routes now share the DBM utility strip, header, primary paths, approval language, contact details, and footer system.

02 // WHAT WE MEASURED

Public quality signals

We check route status, one H1, one canonical, title and description presence, mobile overflow, accessibility, layout shift, and the path to a useful next action.

03 // WHAT HAPPENED NEXT

Keep the evidence honest

When a check finds a conflict, DBM fixes the smallest useful repair, records the result, and keeps the owner approval boundary visible.

PUBLIC ACTIVITY RAIL // 2026-09-24

What is live, measured, and next.

This is DBM’s own build evidence. It is not a client case study, and it does not claim traffic, leads, revenue, rankings, or customer outcomes.

Measured with limits stated.

The numbers below are engineering checks, not customer outcomes. Lighthouse and browser measurements vary by device, network, cache, and third-party runtime. No ranking, revenue, lead, or conversion result is claimed.

FOUR-WEEK REVIEW PLAN

Measure the path, then choose the next repair.

WEEK 1

Baseline

Record source page, engaged visit, inspection start, Workbench station use, and the first action taken.

WEEK 2

Find friction

Review request-desk submissions, phone clicks, booked calls, checkout starts, failed handoffs, and broken links.

WEEK 3

Test one change

Change one headline, proof placement, route, or CTA. Keep the prior version available for rollback.

WEEK 4

Decide

Keep, improve, refresh, or retire based on useful conversations and measured behavior—not vanity alone.

OWNER

Human review

Jamie approves claims, pricing, publishing, integrations, external submissions, and any sensitive customer or public-sector statement.

OFF SWITCH

Safe failure

Disable an integration, return to manual review, preserve the source files, and explain what happened and what did not.

Approval boundary: AI may draft, summarize, classify, and suggest. It does not send, publish, contact people, change systems, spend money, submit a record, or make a sensitive claim without human approval and an approved provider connection.

NUMBERS TO WATCH // OWNER LEDGER

Track the path without pretending the data is better than it is.

These are the operating fields to review each week. They are not public performance claims. DBM will only publish traffic, lead, conversion, revenue, or client outcomes after the underlying analytics, form logs, checkout records, or booking records are connected and reviewed.

SOURCE

Where did the start come from?

Record source page, campaign or referral, engaged visit, inspection start, and the first action.

HANDOFF

Did the path stay connected?

Watch request-desk submissions, phone clicks, booked calls, checkout starts, failed handoffs, and broken links.

VALUE

What was actually delivered?

Track paid starts, annual prepay, completed scope, approval time, and rework—without inventing revenue or customer proof.
