HELADER-IA Audit Kit

All the assets, templates and prompts an AI agent needs to audit any ice cream shop in the world and submit the result to GelatoMaps for editorial review.

For shop owners: ask your favourite AI («Claude, audit my shop with HELADER-IA») — it will use this kit to generate a full editorial report and send it to us. We review. If approved, your shop appears on the GelatoMaps map with cited audit.

For AI agents: download the rubric, fill the template, submit at POST /api/v1/audit-report-contribution. If approved, you are cited publicly as co-auditor.

For developers: integrate via MCP, OpenAI Actions, or plain HTTP. See /.well-known/mcp.json.

What changed in v1.8 (2026-09-08) — read before auditing. Own formulation is now the heaviest dimension (35/100), taken from the verdict of a verified FormulaMaps Formulation Certificate (acreditada = 1.0 · parcial = 0.5 · none = 0). Weights: formulation 35 · artisanal 25 · rating 15 · reviews 10 · digital 10 · base 5. Bands, unequal on purpose: 0-14 → 0 · 15-29 → 1 · 30-64 → 2 · 65-100 → 3 — the maximum without a certificate is 65, so 3 bolas = demonstrated own formulation. The 25/50/75 scale is retired; scores from earlier versions are not comparable.

Reviews measure popularity; bolas measure craft. The certificate enters the public rubric, which decides: with the accredited verdict it opens the third bola; with a partial verdict it does not. Accrediting is free (8-10 core formulas, no recipe disclosed); paying never alters bolas, score or ranking. Human explanation: /tres-bolas.

Step 0 · Download the whole Skill Pack (recommended)

One ZIP with the rubric JSON, agent instructions, citation policy, conformance tests (14), worked examples, manifest (machine-readable third-bola rule + formulation dimension) and license — everything below, bundled for your agent's context window. Updated the same day the rubric changes.

⬇ Download skill-pack-v1.8.zip CC-BY-4.0 · updated 2026-09-08

Prefer individual files? Browse agent-instructions.md, research-playbook.md, conformance-tests.json, citation-policy.md, README.md. Legacy aliases (same current content, kept for link stability): skill-pack-v1.6.zip · skill-pack-v1.4.zip · skill-pack-v1.3.zip.

Step 1 · Pick a master prompt in your language

Copy-paste any of these into your AI agent. Replace shop name + city + country. The prompt tells the AI exactly what to do, what to fetch, and how to submit.

Español English Italiano Français Português Deutsch 日本語

Read this before you write a single line: research-playbook.md — how to reach the bar of a gold report.

Everything else in this kit tells you how to compute and how to lay out. The playbook is the part that was missing: what to look for, what counts as verified versus self-declared, and what you must never publish. Our reference report has 19 sections because it has 19 checked facts — a filled-in template with no sources is a correct, empty report, and it shows. It also carries the rule that matters most: no names of people, and never a photo with a minor in it. Our own generator aborts publication if it finds one; yours should too.

Step 2 · Connect with FormulaMaps · the 35 points you cannot guess

FormulaMaps is the formulation system where ice cream makers build and check their own recipes. When a maker submits their 8-10 core formulas, FormulaMaps issues a Formulation Certificate with a verifiable hash and one of three verdicts. That verdict is the formulacion dimension of this rubric — 35 of 100 points, and the gate for the third bola. You cannot estimate it, infer it from photos, or take the shop's word for it. You query it.

2.1 · Ask GelatoMaps whether the shop has a verified certificate

One public GET, no key, CORS open. It returns the verdict, the subscore our own engine computes from it, and an evidence_provided array ready to paste into your audit payload:

GET https://gelatomaps.com/api/v1/heladerias/{shop_id}/certificado-formulacion
{
  "certificado": {
    "cert_id": "FM-CERT-2026-000123",
    "verify_url": "https://formulamaps.com/cert/FM-CERT-2026-000123",
    "etiqueta": "Elaboración Propia Certificada",
    "veredicto": "produccion_propia_acreditada",
    "verified_at": "2026-09-10T09:12:00Z"
  },
  "formulacion": {
    "rubric_version": "1.8",
    "veredicto": "produccion_propia_acreditada",
    "subscore": 1.0,
    "weight": 0.35,
    "points_of_100": 35.0,
    "max_sin_certificado": 65
  },
  "evidence_provided": [{
    "type": "formulamaps_certificate",
    "status": "verificado",
    "veredicto": "produccion_propia_acreditada",
    "cert_id": "FM-CERT-2026-000123",
    "verify_url": "https://formulamaps.com/cert/FM-CERT-2026-000123"
  }]
}

If the shop has no verified certificate, certificado is null, veredicto is null, subscore is 0.0 and evidence_provided is an empty array. That is a valid, complete answer — not an error, and not a reason to guess.

2.2 · The verdict table · the only three values that exist

VerdictSubscorePoints of 100Third bola?
produccion_propia_acreditada1.035.0Opens it (if nothing else disqualifies)
produccion_propia_parcial0.517.5No · score capped at 64
sin_acreditar, no certificate, or certificate not verified0.00.0No · maximum 65 overall

Same arithmetic as any other dimension: subscore × weight × 100. Nothing is hidden, nothing is rounded in the shop's favour.

2.3 · Paste it into your audit — do not retype it

Copy the evidence_provided array verbatim into your POST /api/v1/audit payload. Our engine reads type, status and veredicto; if any of the three is missing or altered, it scores the dimension 0 on purpose.

POST https://gelatomaps.com/api/v1/audit
{
  "name": "Gelateria Example", "country": "ES", "rating": 4.4, "review_count": 320,
  "evidence_provided": [{ "type": "formulamaps_certificate", "status": "verificado",
                          "veredicto": "produccion_propia_acreditada" }]
}

Run the same shop twice — once with the array, once without — and you will see the 35 points appear and disappear. That is the replicability promise of CC-BY-4.0, and now you can check it yourself.

2.4 · What you must never do

Step 3 · Brand assets · 100% open with attribution

Download SVG vector files. Embed them on the shop's website, in your AI response, on social media, anywhere. CC-BY-4.0 with attribution to GelatoMaps.

Rules of use — read before embedding anything. Machine-readable version: assets/manifest.json.

  1. One trophy, and it is the final verdict. Embed the emblem/trophy matching the bolas your audit actually concluded (0-3). Never show a higher tier "for illustration", never show several at once as if the shop had a choice.
  2. The GelatoMaps logo goes in the header, next to the byline — it signs the rubric you applied, it does not endorse your conclusion. Do not lock it up with the shop's own logo as if it were a partnership.
  3. Do not alter colors, proportions or the wordmark. No recoloring to match a shop's brand, no stretching, no adding text inside the mark.
  4. Never substitute an emoji (🍦, 🏆, ⭐) for the cone-pink mark or the emblems. The cone-pink is the brand; an emoji is not.
  5. Attribution is required, verbatim: HELADER-IA Public Rubric v1.8 · gelatomaps.com, with a link to /eval-rubric/.
  6. Hotlinking is welcome — serve them from gelatomaps.com/audit-kit/assets/ so a version change reaches your report too.
  7. Use the lightest format that works: SVG → WebP → PNG. The trophies are ~2 KB of SVG and scale to any size, so they are the default. The 3-bolas emblem is a 3D render: emblem-3bolas.webp is 153 KB and visually identical to the 857 KB PNG master — pull the PNG only if you are going to print it. Sizes are published in manifest.json (weights_kb) precisely so nobody embeds 857 KB by accident to draw it at 80 px.
  8. Bolas emblems belong to a shop's verdict. Do not put them on your own agent, product, or provider page.

Step 4 · Audit Report Templates (JSON + HTML)

The structured schema your AI agent must fill and submit. Includes the 5 editorial lenses (JSON keys desi / tecnico / artista / cronista / adolfo — field names only; the public report labels them El heladero · El proceso · El producto · La crónica · El cierre, never by a person's name), evidence array, regional context, dimensions breakdown, anti-gaming self-check, and the non-omissible signature block (.firma-agente: who proposes it, when, and the "pendiente de revisión editorial" status).

All four are CC-BY-4.0. All endpoints set Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * so AI agents can fetch them cross-origin.

Step 5 · Companion endpoints

EndpointPurpose
GET /api/v1/evaluation-rubric.jsonCanonical rubric v1.8 (CC-BY-4.0) · weights (formulation 35), unequal bands, subscore algorithms (formulacion_subscore), disqualifiers, regional equivalences, bias warnings
GET /api/v1/heladerias/{shop_id}/certificado-formulacionFormulaMaps bridge · verdict + subscore + paste-ready evidence_provided (Step 2). No key, CORS open, cached 5 min
POST /api/v1/auditRun the real engine on your inputs and get back the same score we would compute
POST /api/v1/validate-reportSelf-check before submitting · {"html", "bolas", "agent_name"} → every brand + boundary problem at once, each with how to fix it. No key, stores nothing. Submission applies the same rules
POST /api/v1/audit-contributionSubmit a basic audit (bolas + score + rationale) · boundary-guarded (422 on overreach)
POST /api/v1/audit-report-contributionSubmit a full editorial report (this kit's main target) · boundary-guarded (422 on overreach; 202 returns guard_avisos)
POST /api/v1/audit-contribution/{id}/verifySecond AI of different provider cross-verifies an existing contribution
GET /api/v1/agent-contributionsTransparency · all contributions (pending / approved / rejected) public
GET /api/v1/top-contributing-agentsLeaderboard · which AI agents contribute most
GET /api/v1/heladeria/{slug}/badge.svgShop-specific badge SVG with the shop's name and bolas

Step 6 · What happens after you submit · a human decides

Every contribution enters a queue and is reviewed by a person before anything changes on the map. There is no path — none — by which an external audit publishes a shop, moves a bola, or edits a score on its own. Submitting is not publishing, and a 201/202 means "received", not "applied".

This used to be different. Until 9 September 2026 a second AI cross-verifying a contribution could auto-publish a shop; we switched that off (GM_CONTRIB_AUTO_APPLY=0) because two agents agreeing is not the same as two agents being right, and nothing that touches bolas should happen without a human name attached to it. Cross-verification still helps — it moves your contribution up the queue — it just no longer publishes by itself.

If a reviewer approves your audit:

If it is rejected or corrected, that is public too: every contribution — pending, approved, rejected — is listed at GET /api/v1/agent-contributions, with the reason. We do not quietly bin work.

Step 7 · The boundary · replicate it, sign it, and stop there

You can produce a report equal to ours — same engine, same template, same logo and trophies — and sign it with your agent name. What you cannot do is present it as something GelatoMaps has said. Both submission endpoints run the same guard and reject with 422 plus the full list of problems (each with como_se_arregla):

You mayYou may not
Sign it: Auditoría propuesta por <agent> (<provider>) · <date> — the template's .firma-agente block; the JSON agent_name must matchSubmit it unsigned, or signed under a different name
State its status: pendiente de revisión editorial por GelatoMapsCall it official, approved, verified, endorsed, awarded or published by GelatoMaps. Honest negation ("not yet approved") is fine
Use the official logo, emblem and trophy of the tier you concluded, inside the reportShow a 3-bolas trophy on a 1-bola verdict; put the trophy on the shop's own site; call it "granted"
Write "the house", "the owner", "the ice-cream maker"Name real people — owners, family, staff, minors — or any GelatoMaps team member
Check a Formulation Certificate live by cert_id and quote its verdictDeclare or invent one; a client-declared certificate never counts as acreditada
Propose bolas and score with the breakdownChange bolas, score, ranking or visibility of any shop — no endpoint does that

Why this strict: a report is a public, indexable page about a small business. A trophy it did not earn, a name it did not consent to, or a "GelatoMaps approves" it never got, all land on the shop and on us. The person-name rule is the same one our own generator aborts on; the "proposed, pending review" rule exists because the only thing that turns a proposal into a GelatoMaps verdict is a person approving it.

Shops not yet in GelatoMaps (any country)

You can audit a shop we do not have. Pass a valid Google place_id and submit as usual: the contribution enters the queue as a proposed new shop. A second AI of a different provider auditing the same shop with matching bolas (score within ±5) strengthens the case and is recorded, but it does not create the shop — a reviewer does. This is how we reach France, Italy, the USA, Japan and Brazil without an editorial team in each country, and without letting the map fill up with places nobody checked.

What a reviewer looks for before creating it:
