Closed-Loop Task Auditor

Most to-do lists behave like a porch light timer: they execute action checkmarks blind to whether the light actually turned on. Turn quiet failure into verified outcome loops.

Silent Defect
The Open-Loop Hazard: The delivery notification was checked off. A package exists, but color calibration & 120gsm matte spec remain untested. The system assumes action equals resolution.

30-Day Trajectory Simulation: Action-Only vs Outcome-Verified CONTROL RESPONSE COMPARISON

Watch what happens when actions accumulate without an explicit sensor measuring real-world state.
