What the evidence says

Verified examples exist. For instance:
- StoryShort.ai: $18,003 MRR (TrustMRR).
- MimikFlow: $10,090 MRR (TrustMRR).
- TrustMRR itself was built in about 6 hours (self-reported by Marc Lou).
These are survivors. TrustMRR also lists products with almost no revenue, e.g. one with $89 all-time (TrustMRR).
Distribution matters as much as code. Several founders here had large audiences before launch.

Agentic Paycheck does not guarantee income, revenue, profit, or employment. Dollar figures are quoted from the named sources. Self-reported claims are labeled self-reported. Independently documented claims describe someone else's result, not a forecast for you. When a source did not give a cost, the entry says it was not disclosed. Sponsored placements, if any, are labeled and do not change evidence grades.
