The Quality Gate
If it isn’t you, it doesn’t pass.
Every generated frame is red-team scored against your reference photographs before delivery, inside the same worker that fulfills your order. Frames that fall below threshold are regenerated at our cost — and if a frame still can’t clear our own Quality Gate, we deliver the best take, mark it honestly, and the one-click refund stands. The Quality Gate is identical at every price, from $9.99 to the largest shoot.
The rubric
Four ways a frame can fail.
- 01Identity geometryFacial structure, proportions, and the relationships between features are compared against your references. A flattering stranger is a failure, not a result.
- 02Skin & hair truthTexture has to stay photographic: real pores, real strands, your actual tone. Plastic smoothing, waxy highlights, and invented hairlines are rejected.
- 03Expression rangeThe frame has to read as an expression you could make — not a frozen template face pasted into a scene. Range is judged across the pack, not one lucky frame.
- 04Artifact scanAnatomy, hands, eyes, teeth, text, logos, and edges are scanned for generation artifacts. One malformed detail disqualifies the frame, whatever the rest looks like.
The contract
Three promises, no asterisks.
What we publish
Two real receipts. No invented pass rates.
We publish no customer statistics, because we will not invent numbers before enough real customer shoots exist to report them honestly. What we can show is our own dogfood: the founders-cast imagery on the landing page went through this exact Quality Gate on August 28, 2026 — 32 of 36 generated candidates were rejected and discarded, and the 4 frames that shipped scored 88–96% against the 85% threshold. A second run the same day (rounds 6–7) generated 24 more candidates, of which 7 passed the Quality Gate and 5 shipped. Both receipts live in the repository atdocs/receipts/fidelity-dogfood-2026-08-28.json anddocs/receipts/fidelity-dogfood-rounds6-7-2026-08-28.json. Those are founders-cast receipts, not customer statistics. One more honest edge: if the scorer itself is unavailable, we deliver rather than hold your paid order hostage, record the frame as unscored, and the refund stands.
