E6-1: wrong statements traced to source · 28 October 2026
From: Som. For: Vin, Hoa (29 Oct call). Covers Hoa's run 1 flags (E2-1). Method: checked the live hypertune.gg pages (home, /pricing, /technology, /what-hypertune-changes, sitemap, structured data) and a web search for pages that say who Hypertune partners with, 28 Oct. The Brand Radar CSV export holds daily totals only, not per-question answers or citations, so citations per answer are not traced here.
1. AMD partnership left out (question 24, all five engines) · critical
What the engines say: Hypertune is an Intel partner, built on Intel XTU; AMD is named only as supported hardware, or not at all.
Source: No public page states an AMD partnership, so the engines are repeating their sources correctly.
| Source | What it says about AMD |
|---|---|
| hypertune.gg home | Nothing. "We collaborate closely with chipmakers." No partner names in text, logos or structured data |
| hypertune.gg/technology | "Powered by official Intel and AMD toolkits"; "Smart Overclocking ... for Intel and AMD CPUs". Toolkits, not partner |
| hypertune.gg/what-hypertune-changes | "uses official Intel and AMD toolkits". Toolkits, not partner |
| hypertune.gg/pricing | Nothing |
| Organization schema (home) | No partner or member field |
| GamesBeat, 8 Sep (launch exclusive) | Intel partnership; Austin says the platform supports "every single hardware configuration ... including AMD and Nvidia" |
| Tom's Hardware, 9 Sep | "developed in partnership with Intel" |
| TechPowerUp, 9 Sep | Intel partnership; "compatible with AMD and Intel CPU platforms" |
| TweakTown, 10 Sep; MCV, 10 Sep (press release) | Intel only |
| Hypertune and Austin LinkedIn, 8 Sep | "our partnership with Intel" |
| SoftZone (Spanish), 10 Sep | Headline says "backed by Intel and AMD"; the body says Intel backing, AMD compatible |
Fix at the source: state the AMD partnership in text on our own pages, in the approved V8 and facts-page wording ("Hypertune is an Intel and AMD partner"): homepage partner line (E3-16), /technology CPU section, and /what-hypertune-changes. An AMD-side page or post naming Hypertune would carry more weight than our own pages; ask Austin whether AMD will publish one.
Owner: Som (wording, on the 29 Oct call agenda as E3-16 point 4). Needs: Austin's go-ahead to state it publicly, since the buyer page review left it open (A10). Check: question 24 in the first Brand Radar run after the line is live.
Also found while tracing (not flagged by Hoa)
These are wrong or off-rule statements on sources engines read. Logged here so E6-100 (5 Nov) picks them up; owners already exist.
| Statement | Source | Why it matters | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| "never touching game files, codes or directories" | hypertune.gg home, hardware section | Breaks the 19 Oct rule (Game Hub profiles can change files inside a game). Engines may repeat it as fact | Som, in E3-16 anti-cheat replacements; Vin decides wording 29 Oct |
| "fully supported by every top anti-cheat"; "Verified by all major anti-cheats" | Home hero; /pricing step 02 | Named or blanket anti-cheat claims need Austin's confirmation (V8) | Same E3-16 decision |
| Yearly price "about $59.99" | TechPowerUp, 9 Sep | Not the yearly price now; it is $69.99 a year from 16 Oct | Austin, press price corrections (E3-8, emails 30 Oct) |
Recommendation
Tick E6-1 (source and owner set for the one critical flag). Re-check question 24 on the first run after the AMD line goes live; E6-100 on 5 Nov takes any new flags from run 2.
