Delivered is not published is not verified

Ask a vendor whether the recommended changes are live, and you may hear "the work was delivered weeks ago." That sentence can hide three completely different states of the world. In Logres remediation, they are kept distinct on purpose:

Delivered — a remediation bundle was handed over: proposed, unpublished changes with implementation guidance.

Published — the changes actually went live on the site, applied by the client's team or their partners.

Verified — a later capture of the site confirms the relevant changes are present.

And one more step beyond those: a measured outcome, which is a later observation linked to a verified implementation — observational, never controlled proof of causality.

Why the distinctions matter

Each step can fail independently. A bundle can be delivered and sit in a folder. Changes can be published partially, or published and reverted by the next site update. A vendor who reports "work complete" at the delivery step has told you about a document, not about your site.

The lifecycle language forces honesty at each handoff. When we say a change is verified, it means a capture showed it live — not that someone said it was done.

What verification actually is

Verification is a new capture of the verified target site, checked against the proposed changes. A snapshot is evidence of what the capture saw; it is not a claim that every visitor or crawler saw the same thing. That bounded statement is enough to close the loop on implementation — which is its job.

What verification does not do is prove impact. Whether the changes coincided with later movement in measured scores is a separate question, answered by re-measurement under the pinned methodology — and reported as an observation, not as proof of cause.

The client-side habit worth adopting

Whatever vendor you use, ask which stage the work is at: proposed, delivered, published, verified, or re-measured. A clear answer to that question is worth more than any status deck.

Frequently asked questions

Does Logres publish changes to our site?

No. Logres delivers an implementation-ready remediation bundle; publishing is done by your team or your partners. Delivery is not publication, and we never present a delivered bundle as live work.

How do we know the changes actually went live?

A later capture of the site checks for the relevant changes. Only then is an implementation called verified — a client statement that work is live is not the same thing.

When do results show up?

Verified implementations are followed by later re-measurement under the same pinned methodology where comparison is valid. Any movement is reported as an observation to review, not proof of cause — and never as a guaranteed outcome.
