Clear boundaries.

Purpose

This is Marco Hergi’s independent public profile and creative project. It shares general information about Marco’s public work, ideas, and profiles. It does not provide legal, financial, medical, investment, or other professional advice.

The name of the project

“Marco Is My Friend” is a brand phrase and an open invitation to discover Marco’s public work. It is not a factual claim that every visitor has a personal relationship with Marco.

Artificial intelligence

The linked custom GPT can generate incorrect or incomplete statements. Verify important information through this website, Marco’s verified profiles, and appropriate professional sources.

The Internet Country

The Internet Country is a voluntary digital community, creative project, and public research experiment. It is not a sovereign state, government, legal nationality, passport, visa, immigration status, financial institution, security, token offering, or promise of rights recognized by any jurisdiction. “Citizenship” means community membership only.

Applications are moderated. Submission does not guarantee approval or create legal, financial, employment, contractual, or immigration status. Do not use its branding or records to impersonate a government, issue identity documents, collect money, mislead a third party, or evade applicable law.

Discovery and citation measurement

The AI Discovery Observatory separates crawler requests, user-triggered retrieval agents, attributed human referrals, and manually verified citations. A crawler request does not prove indexing, ranking, citation, recommendation, or a human visit. User-agent labels can be imitated, so a declared agent is not presented as platform-verified unless the hosting network supplies that verification signal.

Citation checks are dated observations produced with a fixed public protocol. AI results can vary by date, location, session, product, and personalization. An empty ledger means a baseline has not yet been collected, not zero visibility. No part of the Observatory guarantees traffic, citations, customers, funding, media coverage, or attention from founders.

Search and crawler infrastructure

Robots directives, sitemaps, IndexNow submissions, structured data, machine-readable files, and webmaster verification can help discovery and measurement. They do not guarantee crawling, indexing, ranking, inclusion in an AI answer, or endorsement by a platform.

Founder Revenue Lab

The Founder Revenue Lab is an educational software demonstration that uses synthetic data. It does not connect to a Stripe account, process payments, provide accounting records, or replace professional accounting, tax, legal, or financial advice. Do not enter API keys, credentials, or confidential business data.

Public MCP endpoint

The public MCP endpoint is a read-only synthetic demonstration. Its eleven tools search public site knowledge, return or calculate bundled example data, and compare illustrative scenarios. It does not authenticate a customer, connect to Stripe, process payments, or access a real business account. Forecasts and scenarios are illustrative calculations, not financial, accounting, or investment advice.

FounderMetricBench

FounderMetricBench is a public evaluation dataset, not a security certification or universal measure of AI quality. Its cases test stated behaviors against published synthetic evidence. Results should not be generalized beyond the documented scope.

Platform submissions

Public submission materials do not mean that OpenAI has reviewed, approved, published, recommended, or endorsed the project. The same boundary applies to the MCP Registry and npm. Only the relevant external platform can confirm those statuses.

Benchmark scope

Readiness checks report whether linked public evidence satisfied a stated condition on the verification date. A passing check is not a security audit, certification, warranty, endorsement, or guarantee of production readiness. Package availability and third-party records can change.

No OpenAI endorsement

Marco Is My Friend is not produced, sponsored, approved, or endorsed by OpenAI. ChatGPT and OpenAI are trademarks of their respective owner. Their appearance identifies the third-party service used by the linked custom GPT.

No Stripe endorsement

Marco Is My Friend and Indie Metrics MCP are independent projects and are not produced, sponsored, approved, or endorsed by Stripe. Stripe is a trademark of its respective owner. References to Stripe identify compatibility, source documentation, or the type of synthetic business questions demonstrated.

Accuracy

Marco aims to keep public facts accurate and current. Projects, profile descriptions, platform features, and external pages can change. A correction request can be sent through the verified profiles listed on the site.

External services

External links are provided for identification and convenience. Marco does not control third-party availability, security, content, privacy practices, or terms.

No warranty

To the extent permitted by law, the site, demonstration, datasets, and public research are provided as available without warranties of accuracy, fitness, uninterrupted availability, or suitability for a particular purpose. Visitors remain responsible for verifying results before relying on them.

Content and marks

Site text and original human-authored content are © 2026 Marco Hergi. Third-party names, marks, and platform content belong to their respective owners. No permission is granted to impersonate Marco or falsely suggest his endorsement.
