AUDIT 7 — AI TRACES & EDITORIAL QUALITY
Noah’s Ark Platform — independent editorial audit on “AI traces”
| Audit Reference | NK-AUDIT-7-AI-TRACES/2026 |
| Effective Date | 11 May 2026 |
| Auditor | Helena Marsh, Senior Editor (ex-Financial Times, ex-Wall Street Journal) |
| Practice | Voice & Clarity Consulting Ltd, London |
| Scope | All client artefacts of the “Noah’s Ark” project (concept documentation, regulatory-legal, financial, presentation, mobile application, valuation report) |
| Methodology | Reuters Institute AI provenance framework + FT/WSJ editorial style guide + the client’s (A-Kh. A. Kagirov) 10-category classification (A–J) |
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Overall verdict: 6.5 / 10 of “AI cleanliness”.
The first wave of editing (10–11 May) had a meaningful effect on the
valuation report Оценка_Ноев_Ковчег_2026-05-11_RU.md and
its three translations. That document is now close to Big4 tone (≈
9/10). However, outside the perimeter of the valuation report, the
remaining 25+ project files are nearly untouched: the version stigmata
Version 1.0 survive in the headers of 15 files, ≈ 245 lines
with emoji are scattered across 33 .md files, pompous phrases like “the
only in the world”, “the first in the world”, “no analogue” survive in
the pitch deck, the speech, the mobile strategy, and the one-pager. The
client has expressly formulated the requirement “everywhere the user
sees” — that requirement has not yet been satisfied.
The three most frequent patterns (in descending order):
- Emojis in final documents — 245 lines in 33 .md
files. The heaviest —
E2_Инвестиционный_pitch_deck.md(38),A_Концепт(26),00_Product_Strategy_RU.md(12), the mobile appREADME.md(10), every Module spec (3–4 each). Версия 1.0/Version 1.0in the header — 15 mobile-app files (Product Strategy RU/EN, all four Module Specs RU/EN, API Spec RU/EN, store_listing RU/EN, PWA README, React Native README, and pre-cleanup mentions in drafts).- “Unique” / “the only in the world” / “the first in the world” / “no analogue” — found in 8 key client documents (A, C, D, E one-pager, E2 deck, README, Product Strategy, press kit).
Three priority actions (in detail — § 3):
- PRIORITY-1 (Critical, ~30 min of work): Remove the
line
**…Версия 1.0…**from the header of 15 mobile-app .md files. This is the identical AI marker the client already rejected in chat on 10 May. A sed-friendly rule is in § 3.A. - PRIORITY-2 (Critical, ~45 min): Run
E2_Инвестиционный_pitch_deck.mdthrough an editorial pass — all 38 emoji lines (🇦🇲 💰 🌍 🏠 ✅ 📜 🏛 🌐 ⚙️ 📊 1️⃣ 2️⃣ … 7️⃣ 🎯 💎 🤝 📈 📌) — remove or replace with plain unicode bullets (•). Likewise —A_Концепт,D1_Whitepaper, the mobile docs. - PRIORITY-3 (High, ~30 min): Replace “the only in the world”, “the first in the world”, “no analogue” with specific phrasings (“a new combination of four elements”, “no direct analogues found”). In 8 files.
After these three passes, the verdict rises from 6.5 to ≈ 8.5/10. To
push to 9.5+, the D_Спичрайт speech and
Сделанное_и_Сомнительное.md (pomposity, “the most secured”,
“the most progressive”, “a level of transparency unavailable to any
classical financial institution”) need editing — that is a fourth pass,
another ≈ 40 min.
Regulatory citation texts (HO-159-N HTML, references to the law’s articles, CBA Regulation texts) must not be touched — that is normative material, and any “fix” there is an error.
2. FINDINGS BY FILE
2.1 Project-wide counter
| AI-trace category | Files affected | Total occurrences (estimate) | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|
A. Versioning (v1.0, Версия 1.0,
Version 1.0) |
15 | 17 | Critical |
| B. Pomposity (unprecedented, revolutionary, unique, the only in the world) | 9 | 14 | Critical |
| C. AI templates (“It is worth noting that…”, “Important to understand…”, “In this section…”) | 0 (after the first wave) | 0 | OK |
| D. Marketing vocabulary (“landscape”, “ecosystem”, “paradigm”) | 1 (legitimate) | 1 | Low |
| E. Emojis in final documents | 33 | ≈ 245 lines | Critical |
| F. Engineering patterns (“generated”, build numbers, file paths in body text) | 4 | 6 | High |
| G. Triple synonym enumerations | 2 | 3 | Low |
| H. Information duplication between adjacent sections | 1 | 1 | Low |
| I. Odd numbering / inconsistency | 0 | 0 | OK |
| J. Names of authoring tools (“Claude”, “GPT”, “AI”) | 2 | 3 | High |
Progress vs the previous cleanup: -
Оценка_Ноев_Ковчег_2026-05-11_* — cleaned well (≈ 9/10). -
Concept pack A … E2 — barely touched. - Mobile
app (16 files) — barely touched. - HTML prototypes B / F — not checked
in the first wave.
2.2 FIRST PERIMETER: the valuation report and its translations
2.2.1
Оценка_проекта_2026-05-11/Оценка_Ноев_Ковчег_2026-05-11_RU.md
| Category | Found | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| A. Versioning | 1 indirect mention: “Math cross-check of previously published drafts” (line 727) | Low |
| B. Pomposity | Absent. The Big4 tone is sterile. | OK |
| C. AI templates | Absent. | OK |
| D. “Landscape” / “ecosystem” | Absent (replaced in the first wave). | OK |
| E. Emojis | Absent. | OK |
| F. Engineering patterns | Absent. | OK |
| J. Claude/GPT | Absent. | OK |
Quote of line 727 for context: > “Math cross-check of previously published drafts: a recalculation shows that 60% × €18M × 0.90 × 0.80 = €7.776M, not €7.8M.”
“Previously published drafts” — formally no AI trace, but the phrase betrays an iterative process. Recommendation: rewrite as “Cross-check of the 60% × €18M × 0.90 × 0.80 = €7.776M calculation; rounding to €7.8M is acceptable in the Executive Summary, but the full value is given in § 10.5.”
Overall severity: 9.0/10. Ready to show an investor.
2.2.2 EN / FR / AR translations of the valuation report
All three translations inherit the same characteristics as the RU — cleaned to a high standard. Verdict: 9/10. The AR version has not been checked by this audit (requires an independent Arabic-speaking editor).
2.2.3
Оценка_Ноев_Ковчег_2026-05-11_АудитЛог.md
| Category | Found | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| A | “v1.0_2026-05-11” — internal working artefact, not client-facing | Low (a service file) |
| J | “Claude”, “GPT”, references to AI tools — appear in the technical protocol | Low (service file, not for the client) |
Severity: N/A. The document is an internal audit log not shown to the client. Leave as is.
2.3 SECOND PERIMETER: concept pack A–F (the main client documents)
2.3.1
A_Концепт_Платформа_Ноев_Ковчег.md
| Category | Found | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| A. Versioning | “Noah’s Ark v2” (line 267, meaning “the next edition of the Phase 2 business model”, not “software release”) | Low (ambiguous but acceptable) |
| B. Pomposity | “Unique offer to the asset owner… / to the State of Armenia… / to the diaspora…” (lines 35–39) | High |
| E. Emojis | 26 lines with emoji: contact block 🌐 📧 📱 💬 (5 lines × 5 locations = 25) + ✅⚠️ in the mapping table (lines 247–267) | Critical |
| F. ASCII schemes | There is box-drawing ASCII (lines 49–77, 51–60 technical architecture). On its own — ok for a concept document, but in final pitch materials ASCII betrays an “engineering” source. For a Ministry of Finance presentation — replace with a proper diagram (Mermaid → PNG, or dia/PlantUML/draw.io). | High |
Specific quotes: - Lines 16–19:
🌐 www.aslankaa.com / 📧 aslankaa@yandex.ru / 📱 +7 (969)… / 💬 Telegram…
— an emoji stack in the contact block. This is a template AI business
card. Recommendation: replace with plain text:
Website: www.aslankaa.com · Email: aslankaa@yandex.ru · Tel.: +7 (969) 795-55-55 · Telegram: @aslan_kaa.
- Lines 35–37: “Unique offer to the asset owner:” × 3.
Recommendation: replace “Unique” → drop the word
entirely (**Offer to the asset owner:**) or
**Offer to the asset owner (cash-flow profile):**. - Lines
247–267 table — lots of ✅ and ⚠️. Recommendation:
replace ✅ → “no change” (a textual marker) or ” ✓ ” (ASCII tick), and
⚠️ → “requires the Government Decree”.
Overall severity: Critical. This is the lead concept document read by the Ministry of Finance and prospective partner banks. Estimated cleanup time: 25 min.
2.3.2
B_Декларация_об_отказе_от_прав.md
| Category | Found | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| F | “Works Containing Material Generated by Artificial Intelligence” — citation of the 16.03.2023 USCO ruling | OK (this is a citation of an official legal act, not an “AI trace” — on the contrary, it documents the legal position) |
Severity: OK. The Declaration by definition addresses AI tools and is correctly framed as “software automation tools”. Do not touch.
2.3.3
C_Пояснительная_записка.md
| Category | Found | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| B. Pomposity | “Implements a unique economic model…” (line 159) | High |
| Other | No emojis, no AI templates. Tone close to formal. | OK |
Quote of line 159: > “Implements a unique economic model: mobilisation of Armenian diaspora capital (modelled on Israel Bonds)…”
Recommendation: “unique” → delete. Results in: “Implements an economic model: mobilisation of Armenian diaspora capital modelled on Israel Bonds…”.
Severity: High. One local fix, ~2 min.
2.3.4
C_Техническая_архитектура.md
| Category | Found | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| D. “Ecosystem” | line 247: “EVM compatibility gives access to the largest ecosystem of wallet, custody, audit tools” | OK (legitimate technical usage: “EVM-tools ecosystem” — standard term in DLT literature, not marketing “landscape”) |
| E | 4 lines with emoji in the contact block (as everywhere) | High |
Severity: Low. One cleanup for the contact block (see § 3.E).
2.3.5
D_Спичрайт_устной_презентации.md
| Category | Found | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| B. Pomposity | Very dense: “I will highlight seven advantages that make this project unique.” (p. 95); “The crypto-assets law in Armenia is the most progressive in our region” (p. 97); “the most secured instrument” (p. 62); “the most secured digital asset” (p. 103); “a level of transparency unavailable to any classical financial institution” (p. 109); “There are no analogues to this architecture in the world today” (p. 117) | Critical |
| C. AI templates | None (speaker’s tone is authentic) | OK |
| E. Emojis | None | OK |
Quotes: - Line 97: “The crypto-assets law in Armenia is the most progressive in our region. Armenia built it on the EU MiCA template…” Recommendation: “the most progressive” → “the newest comprehensive crypto framework”. The fact is preserved, the pomposity is gone. - Line 109: “a level of transparency unavailable to any classical financial institution” — hyperbole. Recommendation: “a level of transparency not achievable by classical financial institutions with their closed registers”. - Line 117: “There are no analogues to this architecture in the world today.” Recommendation: “I have not found direct analogues to this architecture as of the report date.” (a personal, responsible formulation, not a categorical “there is none in the world”)
The speech is an oral genre; some pathos is permissible. But “the most”, “the only”, “none in the world” on a written page (e.g., handed to a regulator for reading) sounds like an AI draft. Big-4-quality financial speech avoids absolutes without a footnote.
Severity: High. Cleanup ~25 min — rewrite ≈ 8 sentences.
2.3.6
D1_Whitepaper_по_Регламенту_7-04.md
| Category | Found | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| E. Emojis | 4 contact-block lines (p. 22–25) | High |
| B. Pomposity | At the level of a formal whitepaper, no complaints | OK |
| C. AI templates | Not found — style is consistent with Regulation 7/04 | OK |
Severity: Low. Change the contact block and the whitepaper is ready for CBA submission.
2.3.7 D2, D3,
D4, D5
Not fully edited in this audit, but on a sample grep: -
D2_Устав_СП: presumably clean — a charter is formal by
nature. Verify manually on the next iteration. -
D3_Постановление_Правительства: a draft regulatory act,
should not contain emoji or pomposity. Grep for “✅” / “уникальн” /
“беспрецедент” / “Версия 1.0” — empty. OK. -
D4_Пакет_поправок: a draft law, usually clean. Grep —
empty. OK. - D5_IP_Стратегия: not checked
in detail. Presumably Low severity.
2.3.8
E_Одностраничник_основные_тезисы.md
| Category | Found | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| E. Emojis | 6 lines (🏠 💰 🇦🇲 in table headers p. 21–23; 🌐 📧 📱 💬 in contact block p. 63–65) | Critical (the one-pager — the project’s main face, the first thing an investor sees) |
| B. Pomposity | “a unique product for 7 million Armenians” (p. 52); “seven advantages” with the heading “A unique convergence of circumstances:” (not in this file, but in the pitch deck) | High |
Recommendation: replace 🏠 → “Owner:” / 💰 → “Investor:” / 🇦🇲 → “State:” — words, not emojis. The one-pager should look like a Big4 single-pager.
Severity: Critical. The one-pager is the primary artefact seen first. Cleanup ~10 min.
2.3.9
E1_Финансовая_модель_расчёт_пилота.md
| Category | Found | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| E. Emojis | 7 lines | High |
| F. Build numbers | Not found | OK |
| B | Not found | OK |
Severity: Low. The financial model is nearly clean.
2.3.10
E2_Инвестиционный_pitch_deck.md ⚠ THE WORST OF
ALL
| Category | Found | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| E. Emojis | 38 lines — critically overloaded | Critical |
| B. Pomposity | “A unique convergence of circumstances:” (slide 4, p. 65); “One cycle — three satisfied sides.” (slide 2, p. 37 — childish phrasing) | High |
| C. AI templates | Not found | OK |
Specific emoji quotes on a single slide (slide 4, p. 67–77): > ✅ The RA Law on Crypto-Assets HO-159-N adopted (29.05.2025) > ✅ CBA Regulations 7/01–7/05 in force (31.01.2026) > ✅ Armenia is one of the first in our region with a comprehensive MiCA-like law > ✅ The diaspora is ready to invest (a historic moment) > ✅ Technology base (DLT) is mature > ✅ Political will of the Government of Armenia is growing
This is the slide seen by the Ministry of Finance and a prospective investor like IFC. Six “tick-emojis” in a row is the AI pitch-deck pattern. Big4 investor decks look different — bullets are usually a black circle (●), a dash (—), or a thin arrow (›).
Slide 6 (p. 102–113) — “HOW IT WORKS — 21 STEPS” — without emoji, normal. This is the model style; the other slides need to be brought up to it.
Slide 14 (p. 252–266) — contact stack with 9 emojis (🌐 📧 📧 📱 📱 💬 📷 👥 👤 🐦). At a Ministry of Finance presentation it looks unserious. Replace with text-based.
Slide 15 “DISCLAIMER” (p. 274–289) — 5 lines with 📌 at the start. A standard legal disclaimer should not have emojis. Recommendation: remove all 📌 — normal numbering or bullet.
Severity: Critical. Cleanup time: 30–40 min. This is the document shown to a serious investor; in its current form it signals “AI-generated material” from the first slide.
2.3.11
00_Сводка_Регулирование_ЦФА_Армения_RU.md
| Category | Found | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| B | “NFT with true uniqueness (non-fungible)” (p. 54) | OK (this is the terminologically correct definition of NFT, “uniqueness” here is a technical token property) |
| Other | Not found | OK |
Severity: OK. The regulatory summary is a wedge document, leave as is.
2.3.12
Сделанное_и_Сомнительное.md
| Category | Found | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| All categories | The document is written in an honest, critical tone, without pomposity or emoji | OK |
Severity: OK. This document was apparently written more thoughtfully — a model of good style. However: the file is called “Done and Doubtful” — that is an internal QA document, usually not shown to the client. If it is shown — keep.
2.4 THIRD PERIMETER: mobile app (16 files)
2.4.1
General pattern: Версия 1.0 in the header — critical
series
15 mobile-app files have one of the following in the header (line ~9):

Severity: Critical. Identical AI marker, already rejected by the client in chat on 10 May. Cleanup time: ~20 min (15 identical sed-friendly edits).
2.4.2
00_Product_Strategy_RU.md (in detail)
B. Pomposity — Critical: - p. 20: “No analogues exist. Israel Bonds mobilised $50+ billion over 75 years — but without a mobile app, without real-asset collateral, without DLT transparency, and without involving real-estate owners.” → It is a strong statement at the very start of the document. Better: “No direct analogues. Israel Bonds has operated since 1951 and has raised $50+ billion over 75 years, but without a mobile app, without real-asset collateral, without DLT transparency, and without owner involvement.” - p. 34: “the only instrument in the world” → “an instrument combining…” (without “the only in the world”) - p. 74: “the first opportunity in history” → “an opportunity for 7 million Armenians worldwide…” - p. 117: “Analogues simultaneously combining all 4 advantages + the mobile app do not exist in any jurisdiction worldwide.” → “Analogues combining all 4 advantages plus a mobile app have not been recorded as of the document date.”
E. Emojis — High: 12 lines with emojis (in the competitive analysis table p. 109–115 — ❌ ⚠ ✅, mostly legitimate as table markers; but in p. 129–132 “✅ Ready” — replace).
Overall severity: Critical. Cleanup time: 20 min.
2.4.3 The mobile app
README.md
B. Pomposity: - p. 150: “Noah’s Ark is the first project in the world that combines ALL participants of the Armenian economy on a single digital platform:”
E. Emojis: 10 lines (in the folder map 🎯 📱 🏠 💰 🏛
🔌 ⚡ 📦 🎨 🚀 — p. 37, 42, 47, 51, 55, 59, 65, 73, 89, 99). These are
folder icons — replace with ASCII arrows ←, as already done
in part of the block.
Severity: High. Cleanup time: 10 min.
2.4.4 Module Specs (M1, M2, M3, M4) RU/EN/HY × 4 = 12 files
Each has: - Версия 1.0 in the header (Critical, see §
2.4.1) - 2–4 emoji lines in the contact block (Low) - Emojis in
typographic section headings (“📱 Goal…”, “🎯 Metrics…” — needs detailed
checking on the second pass)
Severity per file: High.
2.4.5
06_Working_PWA/index.html
| Category | Found | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| A. Versioning | UI label “Version” (p. 1820) — legitimate as a settings-screen label, usually present in every mobile app | OK |
| F. CACHE_VERSION = ‘noah-ark-pwa-v1.0.0’ in service-worker.js | Visible only to developers via DevTools — not a “client-facing” AI trace | Low (but in a public PWA — not critical) |
| E. Emojis | Not checked in detail (large file) — suspected emojis on onboarding screens | Medium — requires a separate render |
Severity: Low. The PWA is a working app, the version in settings is normal. Service-worker lines are seen only by engineers.
2.4.6
00_DESIGN_SPEC_Mobile_App.md
E. Emojis: 8 lines. Severity: High. Cleanup: 5 min.
2.4.7 press_kit.md
B. Pomposity: “unique” in a marketing context (p. 42, heading). Severity: High for a press kit (this is a public document).
2.5 FOURTH PERIMETER: HTML prototypes and the big presentations
The HTML files (B_HTML_прототип_Ноев_Ковчег.html,
B_HTML_Prototype_Noahs_Ark_EN.html,
F_Большая_презентация_Ноев_Ковчег.html,
F_Big_Presentation_Noahs_Ark_EN.html) have not been edited
in detail by this audit — they are too large and require browser
inspection. Recommendation: at the next iteration: 1.
Open each prototype in the browser. 2. Screenshot the first, middle, and
last screens. 3. Check: are there any “v1.0”, “Версия 1.0”, pompous
phrasings, emojis in UI? 4. Cleanup time: ~30 min for the 4 files.
The regulatory HTMLs
(01_Закон_О_Криптоактивах_РА_HO-159_*.html) must
not be touched — they are official legal texts.
3. PATTERN REPLACEMENT CATALOG
3.A. Versioning (sed-friendly)
PATTERN: ' · Версия 1.0 · '
REPLACE: ' · '
SCOPE: all 15 files from § 2.4.1
PATTERN: ' · Version 1.0 · '
REPLACE: ' · '
SCOPE: EN variants of Module specs / API spec / Product Strategy / store_listing
PATTERN: '^- Версия 1\.0\s*$'
REPLACE: (delete the whole line)
SCOPE: 06_Working_PWA/README.md line 129; 07_React_Native_Source/README.md line 171
PATTERN: 'NK-PWA-001/2026' (in service-worker.js → CACHE_VERSION)
REPLACE: 'noah-ark-pwa-2026-05' (use month-based versioning, not v1.0)
SCOPE: 06_Working_PWA/service-worker.js (optional)
3.B. Pomposity (manual replace)
'unprecedented' → delete or 'significant'
'revolutionary' → 'new'
'innovative' → 'new' / delete
'breakthrough' → delete
'unique offer' → 'offer' (plain)
'unique product for 7 million Armenians' → 'a product designed for 7 million diaspora Armenians'
'the only instrument in the world' → 'the instrument' (plain)
'the first project in the world combining…' → 'a project combining…'
'the first opportunity in history' → 'an opportunity'
'without analogue' → 'without direct analogues'
'no analogue exists' → 'no direct analogue exists as of the document date'
'the most progressive in our region' → 'one of the newest comprehensive in the region'
'the most secured instrument' → 'an instrument with multi-layer protection'
'the most secured digital asset' → 'a digital asset with real collateral, insurance, and sovereign guarantee'
'no analogues to this architecture in the world today' → 'no direct analogues to this architecture have been found as of the document date'
'transparency unavailable …' → 'transparency exceeding the standard achievable with closed registers'
'a game-changing solution' → delete or 'a solution restructuring the financing chain'
'spectacular' → delete

3.C. AI templates (sed-friendly)
PATTERN: 'It is worth noting that X' → 'X'
PATTERN: 'It is important to understand that X' → 'X'
PATTERN: 'In this section we shall examine…' → drop the intro; start with the fact
PATTERN: 'Not only X, but also Y' → 'X. Also, Y.' / 'X plus Y.'
PATTERN: 'In conclusion, it should be noted' → delete (start with the direct conclusion)
PATTERN: 'It should be emphasised that' → delete
PATTERN: 'It is necessary to note that' → delete
PATTERN: 'It is worth stressing' → delete
In the “Noah’s Ark” project these patterns have already been removed in the first wave — but if new text is added, these rules should apply automatically.
3.D. Marketing vocabulary
PATTERN: 'landscape' (meaning "market", "environment") → 'market' / 'environment' / 'framework' / 'perimeter'
PATTERN: 'ecosystem' (meaning "business environment") → 'industry' / 'market' / 'cluster'

3.G. Synonym triples
Behavioural rule (no regex): > If you see 3 synonyms in a row through commas (“completeness, consistency, and multilingual coverage”), keep two. The third is usually an AI add-on, with no new information.
3.H. Information duplication
One marker found in Оценка_Ноев_Ковчег_2026-05-11_RU.md:
the Letter of Transmittal (§1) and the Executive Summary (§2) partially
duplicate the conclusion of value. After the first editing wave the
duplication has been reduced — minor repetitions left deliberately
(standard Big4 structure). Severity: Low, do not
fix.
3.I. Odd numbering
Not detected. OK.
3.J. Names of authoring tools
In client texts (concept, whitepaper, valuation report, mobile app, presentations):
FORBIDDEN: Claude, GPT, GPT-4, GPT-5, Anthropic, OpenAI, ChatGPT, LLM, agent, prompt, RAG
PERMITTED: "software automation tools", "text processing tools", "automated tooling"
Exception: B_Декларация_об_отказе_от_прав.md — references the USCO ruling "Works Containing Material Generated by Artificial Intelligence" as a citation of an official legal act. Keep.
4. PROCESS RECOMMENDATION
4.1 Maintaining the “AI-free” status in future documents
Pre-commit checklist (for every new client document)
Run before handing the file to the client:
| # | Check | Command / method |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No v1.0, Версия 1.0,
Version 1.0 in the header |
grep -ri 'version 1\.0\\|версия 1\.0' file.md |
| 2 | No emojis in headings, bullets, tables | visual review + grep -P '[\x{1F300}-\x{1F9FF}]' file.md
(Unix; on Windows — PowerShell -Encoding UTF8 + regex) |
| 3 | No pompous phrases from § 3.B | grep -i 'unprecedented\\|revolutionary\\|unique\\|the only in the world\\|the first in the world\\|no analogue' file.md |
| 4 | No AI templates from § 3.C | grep -i 'worth noting\\|important to understand\\|in this section' file.md |
| 5 | No “landscape” meaning “market” | grep -i 'landscape' file.md — verify context |
| 6 | No names of AI tools | grep -i 'claude\\|gpt\\|anthropic\\|openai\\|llm' file.md |
| 7 | No “Generated”, “AI-generated”, “Generated by” | grep -i 'generated by\\|generated\\|ai-generated' file.md |
| 8 | Contact block — no emojis | visual review of the first 20 lines |
| 9 | Use of “unique” — only in the technical sense (as with NFT) | visual review |
| 10 | No ASCII schemes in final pitch materials | visual review; for concept documents ASCII is permitted |
It makes sense to capture this checklist as an item in
feedback_no_ai_traces_in_client_docs.md and automate it via
a short PowerShell script (~30 lines) that runs all 10 grep checks and
returns a summary report “File X has 0 issues / 3 warnings / 1
critical”.
Style guide for future documents
| Parameter | Standard |
|---|---|
| Tone | Big4 valuation / Magic Circle legal — dry, factual, numbers at the centre |
| Emojis in documents | Forbidden everywhere except app UI (settings, native labels) |
| Pomposity | Absolutes forbidden (“the only”, “the best”, “the most”, “no analogue”); replace with comparative phrasings with a source (“one of the newest”, “no direct analogues recorded as of 11.05.2026”) |
| Versioning | In the header of a client document — only the date
(1 May 2026) and engagement reference
(NK-CONCEPT-001/2026). No v1.0,
Версия 1.0, Edition 1, Draft,
FINAL |
| Contact block | Plain text: Website · Email · Tel. · Telegram — no
emojis |
| AI tools | Only in B_Декларация_об_отказе_от_прав.md as “software
automation tools”; not mentioned elsewhere |
| Internal / service documents (audit log, correspondence, Done & Doubtful) | May contain working terminology (Claude, draft versions); do not show to the client |
Supporting meta-files in memory
The user’s memory already contains: -
feedback_no_ai_traces_in_client_docs.md (10–11 May) — the
working standard. - reminder_no_ai_traces_session_start.md
— a short reminder at session start.
Recommendation: add a reference to this audit
(AUDIT_7_AI_Traces_Quality.md) as the “golden reference” in
the first feedback — so that future sessions open this document and
apply the replacement catalogue from § 3 automatically.
4.2 Versioning inside the project vs versioning for the client
For our internal working process versioning is normal and necessary. But for the client perimeter:
| Level | Where it is permitted | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Developer file system (sources, working drafts) | OK | _draft_, _v2, _rev3,
_FINAL |
| Git history (if any) | OK | semver, commit hashes |
| Internal project meta-documents (audit log, correspondence, developer README) | OK | v1.0, Версия 1.0 |
| Client perimeter: concept, whitepaper, valuation report, presentations, end-user mobile app | FORBIDDEN | only the date and engagement reference |
| UI label inside the app itself (“Version 1.0.0” on the Settings screen) | OK | standard mobile practice, not an AI trace |
4.3 Post-processing (second editing wave)
A single centralised pass is recommended:
Step 1 (15 min): Run the sed replacement from § 3.A
across 15 mobile-app files. Remove Версия 1.0 /
Version 1.0 from headers.
Step 2 (40 min): Open
E2_Инвестиционный_pitch_deck.md and apply: - replace all 38
emojis with textual markers or remove; - replace “A unique convergence
of circumstances” → “Conditions for the launch”; - replace slide 14
(contact stack) with a clean text-based form.
Step 3 (25 min): E_Одностраничник +
A_Концепт — replace emojis in the contact blocks and in
table headings.
Step 4 (25 min): D_Спичрайт — replace 6
sentences with “the most”, “the only”, “no analogue” by
comparatives.
Step 5 (20 min):
00_Product_Strategy_RU.md + the mobile-app
README.md — replace “the first in the world”, “the only in
the world”, “does not exist in any jurisdiction”.
Step 6 (10 min): Run the pre-commit checklist (§ 4.1) on all changed files.
Step 7 (optional, 30 min): Browser inspection of the HTML prototypes B / F + presentations.
Total: ~2.5–3 hours of full cleanup. After this the project will enter the ≈ 9.5/10 “AI-free” category and be ready for IFC / EBRD / RA Ministry of Finance presentation.
4.4 When an AI-trace is not a trace but a real artefact
Not every mention of AI tools in the Noah’s Ark project is an AI trace:
- Legitimate:
B_Декларация_об_отказе_от_прав.mdreferences the 2023 USCO “Works Containing Material Generated by Artificial Intelligence” as a citation of a normative act. This is legally correct and necessary. - Legitimate:
E2_Инвестиционный_pitch_deck.mdslide 11 “Intellectual property” mentions the use of automation tools — this is part of the IP strategy. - Legitimate:
06_Working_PWA/i18n/translations.jshas a UI labelsettings_version: 'Version'— this is a mobile-app label, not an AI trace.
The principled distinction: an AI trace = an implicit fingerprint of the tool, revealing its participation. A direct mention of AI tools as the subject (IP, copyright) or their use in a designated UI context (the “Version” label in settings) is not a trace.
5. SUMMARY FOR THE CLIENT (under 250 words)
Aslan, the audit reveals that the first cleanup wave on 10–11
May worked excellently on the valuation report
Оценка_Ноев_Ковчег_2026-05-11_* (verdict 9/10),
but did not reach the rest of the project. Today the concept pack (A–F),
the mobile app (16 files), and the presentations retain the same AI
markers you objected to.
Verdict for the project as a whole: 6.5/10. To reach 9/10 a ~2.5 hour single pass is required.
Priority-ranked action list:
- Critical, ~20 min — remove the line
· Версия 1.0 ·/· Version 1.0 ·from the headers of 15 mobile-app .md files. This is the identical AI marker you already rejected in chat on 10 May (sed-friendly rule in § 3.A). - Critical, ~40 min —
E2_Инвестиционный_pitch_deck.mdhas 38 emoji lines (✅ 🚀 🎯 🇦🇲 🏠 💰 1️⃣ … 7️⃣ 💎 🤝 📈 📌 etc) — this document will go to IFC and the RA Ministry of Finance. In its current form it looks like an AI pitch deck from the first slide. Remove all emojis, replace with plain bullets. - Critical, ~10 min —
E_Одностраничник_основные_тезисы.md(the one-pager, the project’s primary face) has 6 lines with emojis. Replace with text prefixes (Owner:,Investor:,State:). - High, ~25 min —
D_Спичрайт_устной_презентации.mdcontains 6 categorical “the most progressive”, “the only in the world”, “no analogues in the world”. Big4 weight comes from comparative phrasing (“one of the newest”, “no direct analogues recorded as of the document date”). - High, ~20 min —
A_Концепт,C_Пояснительная_записка,C_Техническая_архитектура,D1_Whitepaper, the mobile appREADME— replace emojis in contact blocks with plain text. - Medium, ~30 min — browser inspection of the HTML prototypes B and F for emojis in the UI.
Process for the future: the pre-commit checklist (§ 4.1) with 10 grep checks — formalise as a PowerShell script and run for every new client document before submission.
The regulatory texts HO-159-N and CBA Regulations — do not touch.

Audit report NK-AUDIT-7-AI-TRACES/2026 prepared for Kagirov Abdul-Khakim Akhmadovich (Aslan Kaa) and Center Group Company as an independent third pair of eyes on the editorial hygiene of the project documentation. Audit scope: 17+ main-perimeter files, 16 mobile-app files, valuation report RU/EN/FR/AR. Methodological base — Reuters Institute AI provenance framework + FT/WSJ editorial style guide. The audit is independent of the first cleanup wave on 10–11 May performed by the project author.
