Issue dossier
The product page identifies a DEFCON 33 badge and displays a historical $70 sale from $100, while the July 2026 roster says Update to Existing and $80. Neither source demonstrates the original run's quantity, event distribution, whether the older price or current price was transacted, stock, payment, order acceptance, manufacturing, refund, pickup, shipment, delivery, recipient, support, or a distinct 2026 revision.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.

Maker-operated DEF CON 33 product page that names the SAO Many SAOs Badge, shows a $70 sale price from a $100 original price, describes a 25-design display platform, and says the outer LEDs require the separate SmartAO SAO. Its product images do not state a reusable license or explicit permission basis.

public maker repository
Public vortexcodes repository containing the technical README, a BOM CSV, image files, and SVG schematic sheets.
