A free check. Ten minutes.

You let AI into your business. Can you say what it read last week?

Four questions. If you cannot answer all four, you do not have a tooling problem, you have a permissions problem, and it is fixable.

1. Can you show me what it was allowed to touch?Not what it says it did. The record of what it was granted, written down before it acted.
2. Does that permission expire, or is it forever?Most access granted to an AI tool in the last year has no end date and nobody set one on purpose.
3. Is there one switch that turns it all off?One place, one action, everything revoked. If the answer involves logging into four services, the answer is no.
4. Is anything personal sitting where it should not be?Customer email, invoices, an employee's details, copied into a file or a prompt and left there.

These are not hypotheticals. Every one of them is a failure found in my own systems first, written down, and fixed. The check that finds them is one file you can read before you run it, it makes no network call, and it names the file and the line that decided each answer.

Your address is stored by Tally, the form service, and read by one person, Alan Karp at Syrup Labs AI. You will get one reply with your result and nothing else unless you ask for it. No list, no sequence, no sharing, no selling. Reply to that email and your entry is deleted. That is the whole policy, and the fact that it fits in a paragraph is the point.

What you get back

A page with four rows. Each one says pass or refuse, and a refuse names the exact file and line that decided it, so you can look yourself. No score, no grade, no dashboard. A refusal is the useful part.

And if you want it fixed

The report is $995 founding, then $1,995, delivered in 48 hours. It takes the refusals, traces each one to what granted it, and gives you the revoke path and a written record you can hand to an accountant, a client or a spouse. If the check finds nothing you did not already know, there is no charge.

Why a spouse

Because the test that matters is not technical. It is whether the person who shares your risk, and who did not choose any of these tools, would say yes after hearing four plain answers. Every check here is written to be explainable to that person. If it needs a diagram, it failed.

Who it is for

A solo developer, or the lead of a two to five person team, shipping an agent built with Claude Code, Cursor or Codex that can reach a production database, a secrets file or a browser session. If you have watched a deny rule get walked around, this is for you.

Questions

What is free?

The four questions, answered on your setup: a page with four rows, each one pass or refuse, and each refuse naming the file and the line that decided it.

Who reads what I send?

One person, Alan Karp at Syrup Labs AI. Your address is stored by Tally, the form service. You get one reply with your result and nothing else unless you ask.

What does the report cost, and how fast is it?

$995 founding price for one repo, delivered in 48 hours ($1,995 after the first three). It traces each refusal to what granted it and gives you the revoke path and a written record.

Why is it called the wife test?

Because the test that matters is whether the person who shares your risk, and did not choose these tools, would say yes after hearing four plain answers.
