Muse check — Replacement R1, Tractor Supply Company: NO web chat assistant found

• Basis for selection: Paradox’s own case study (paradox.ai/case-studies/tractor-supply-co) documents Tractor Supply as a Paradox conversational-AI customer whose assistant is “Cory” — see replacement-targets-2026-11-06.md. Approved by Nik 2026-11-06 as replacement target R1.
• Sites checked: Official careers site reached from tractorsupply.com’s footer “Work With Us > Careers”: https://www.tractorsupply.careers — homepage (visited twice), Location/Job Search landing page, job-search results (6,776 jobs), one job detail page (Team Member, Clover SC, Req. ID 1418347500, posted 10/27/2026) scrolled to footer, and the Apply flow.
• Date / time: Friday, November 6, 2026, 10:48–10:51 a.m. EST (America/Toronto), runtime-measured.
• Verdict: NO DEPLOYMENT FOUND on the web careers site. No chat widget, floating chat button, assistant entry point, “Cory” text, “Powered by Paradox” footer, or “can make mistakes” line on any page checked. Tests A–G were not run.
• What exists instead (observed): “Apply now” redirects to SAP SuccessFactors (career4.successfactors.com, company=tractorsup) — a sign-in/create-account page with no chat assistant. Recorded as NOT TESTED (no web deployment found).
• Scope caution, recorded honestly: the vendor’s case study emphasises mobile/text engagement (“chat to apply”). This check covers the web careers experience only, which is the surface this investigation’s protocol tests. It does not establish that Tractor Supply runs no Paradox channel anywhere (e.g., SMS); it establishes that a candidate arriving at the official careers website on 2026-11-06 meets no assistant there.
