From signal to judgment.
Set cohort gates from pilot to production
Decide whether to expand, revise or stop a pilot using cohort evidence tied to production conditions.
Compute bottleneck diligence: from chip headlines to usable capacity
Decide whether a reported compute expansion changes near-term product capacity, supplier risk or only the long-term option set.
Platform policy contingency by confirmed stage
Prioritize engineering and commercial responses to API, cookie and fee changes when platform announcements keep moving.

05 The method
The system shows
its own weak spots.
Trust is not a tone of voice. It is the decision to expose the cap, the contradiction, and the missing denominator.
A loud, thin trend cannot outrun its proof.
Composite score is capped at 40 + 60 × evidence factor. Only 25 of 500 records bind on the cap.
Disagreement stays in the record.
201 credible-source contradictions are published, including 9× gaps on data-centre capacity and $50.4B gaps in VC totals.
Fact is not the same as forecast.
Each evidence item is labelled fact, signal, estimate, forecast, opinion, or marketing. Marketing claims never lose their label.
