# Aiolum

> One person, AI, and solid ground. Verified stories of businesses that one person grew with AI, with an evidence grade on every number. 110 stories, last updated 2026-10-16.

Evidence grades: A = disclosed by a public company, a filing or a payment processor, or verified by one; B = two or more independent reports agree, or a journalist confirmed it; C = a founder claim that no one else verified; calc = computed on this page from graded facts.

Each story has the same parts: the headline numbers with their grades, a timeline, why it worked, how it was built, the failed startups that promised the same thing before, whether the pattern can be copied, what to watch, and the numbered sources. Every page below also exists as HTML at the same address without the .md ending (for example https://aiolum.com/story/base44/).
