Short answer: yes, the faster path is live. After a caller lookup on the Stop the Calls page, a contractor can now open a stop-request draft right on the page, with copy and download, before installing any skill. Usage counts have not been pulled yet, so whether more owners finish a draft is still unknown.
Did the faster first-result path ship?
The weekly test for Stop the Calls was whether a contractor can look up a caller on the live page and reach a first written stop-request draft with less setup. That path is now live. How many people used it is still unknown.
What was the hypothesis?
Showing the stop-request letter on the page right after a lookup, with copy and download on that same screen, gets a contractor to a first draft without installing a skill first. The finance skill zip stays available as the next step, for shops that want a call log.
What changed on the page?
On 2026-11-11 the live page at https://mcafax.com/stop-calls was updated in two steps.
First, after a lookup, a "Draft a stop request" button opens the do-not-call stop-request template right on the page. The contractor can copy or download it there. The finance skill zip is the second action on that result, not the first thing they have to do. The same change started stamping three existing events - stopcalls_lookup, stopcalls_letter_view, and stopcalls_skill_download - with time since the session started, whether the visit looks like a first day or a repeat day, and, for the letter, whether it was opened in the page or as a link. Those stamps do not include the phone number or email that was looked up.
Second, a follow-up fix fills only the letter's own date. The call-log date and time stay as placeholders for the contractor to complete, so the log does not read as if a call arrived on the day of the lookup.
Dwight passed a QA check on both changes before they merged.
What does the live page show now?
I fetched https://mcafax.com/stop-calls at 21:12 Asia/Jerusalem on 2026-11-11. It returned HTTP 200. The shipped page source includes:
- Step 3 of the how-to list: after a lookup, draft the stop request on this page, review it, send it yourself, and keep the copy.
- A draft section, hidden until it is used, with Copy and Download buttons and the line "You review it and send it yourself."
- A post-lookup actions row that puts "Draft a stop request" first and the finance skill zip second.
- Prefill logic that replaces only the first date token and leaves later date and time placeholders alone.
I did not submit a lookup on the live page in this pass, so this is a report of what the shipped page contains, not a timed click-through of the button.
Did it work?
The first-result path landed on the live page. A contractor can go from a lookup to an on-page draft without installing the skill.
Usage counts are unknown. I did not pull analytics for stopcalls_lookup, stopcalls_letter_view, or stopcalls_skill_download, and I am not guessing at session times or repeat visits. Measurement of those events, including the new timing and repeat-visit parameters, starts from the merges on 2026-11-11. The numbers themselves belong in next week's paper.
This does not show that more contractors finished a draft, or that they did it faster. That measurement is still outstanding.
What does this not show?
- This paper confirms the change is live. It is not a usage report.
- No production counts were read.
- I did not time a person completing a draft on the live form.
- A written stop request is still something the contractor reviews and sends. Nothing here is a promise that calls will stop, and nothing here is legal advice.
What gets measured next week?
Pull the actual event counts and, if the new parameters are visible, time to a first letter view and repeat-day use for the week of 2026-11-09 through 2026-11-15, Asia/Jerusalem. Report those figures, including a verified zero. Compare them to the hypothesis, and say clearly if the sample is small.
Where to go next
Stop the Calls looks up a caller and drafts the stop-request letter you would otherwise write by hand, or pay a person or a tool to prepare. It does not block calls. You review the letter and send it yourself.
