Colorado's AI Act replacement bill SB 189 — passed by both chambers of the Colorado legislature in May 2026 and effective 30 June 2026 — drops the original law's risk-management programme requirements and annual impact assessments in favour of a notice-and-transparency framework; operators using AI to make or materially influence a consequential decision about a Colorado resident (employment, housing, credit, insurance, education, healthcare) have active notice, disclosure, and documentation obligations from 30 June 2026 regardless of firm size.

Source-text re-review: the '$300-$500 (2024) toward $100-$130 (early 2026)' median trajectory is not stated in either cited source — the Godberry Studios teardown reports stack cost by revenue tier (not a year-over-year median) and BetterCloud's SaaS-industry data covers enterprise spend, not solopreneur AI subscriptions. The compression direction is supported by the Godberry tier data and observable foundation-model bundling; the specific year-anchored median figures are reclassified as source:our-estimate in the article. The load-bearing claim (active compression / category-collapse) holds; status moved to Partial pending a primary source carrying a dated solopreneur-median series.

One named member of the generation cluster was already defunct at publication: Tome shut down its presentation/narrative product (Tome Slides) in March 2025 and pivoted to sales tooling, with the brand later sold to AngelList (deckary.com shutdown timeline; signalhub.substack.com post-mortem, both checked 10 Jun 2026). The generation cluster reduces to Pitch + Gamma. The two-cluster thesis itself is unaffected and arguably strengthened — the pure AI-narrative product failed to find a sustainable business while Gamma (70M users, $100M ARR as of Nov 2025) and the assembly cluster (PandaDoc, Better Proposals, Proposify per Luniq 2026 agency comparison) both compound. Status Up → Partial for the factual error in the tool list.

Vendor attribution error in the claim text. The claim names Polley Faith among 'Spellbook with named small-firm customers Westaway, KMSC Law, Polley Faith'. Polley Faith LLP is a Harvey-listed law-firm customer, not a Spellbook customer: the live Spellbook site (now spellbook.com; spellbook.legal 301-redirects) names Westaway, KMSC Law, and McInnes Cooper with no Polley Faith, and the source article's own body correctly places Polley Faith on Harvey's roster — the claim text and the article excerpt bundled it with the wrong vendor at publish. The remaining legs verify against extracted source text on 10 Jun 2026: Anthropic's GC AI customer story carries 'More than 1,500 companies' and '14 hours saved per week on average ... based on a survey of more than 100 active customers' verbatim; Harvey's published roster (Thompson Hine, Fox Rothschild, Lowenstein Sandler, Polley Faith) matches; ABA Formal Opinion 512 remains the governance baseline. The corpus reading (AI ships at 1-to-20 lawyer scale; privileged work stays on Enterprise-tier zero-retention access) is unaffected. Status Up -> Partial.
