Evidence register & references

Every substantive claim in this platform is classified by what kind of statement it is. Nothing is upgraded from vendor material, and anything that cannot yet be supported is held as evidence required.

Classification
Five categories

01 · Classification system

  • Verified evidence

    Published, openable research, or a direct measurement.

  • Vendor material

    Material supplied by the vendor. Not independently verified.

  • Illustrative scenario

    A business calculation built to illustrate, not a quotation from a source.

  • Working hypothesis

    An internal assumption made to be tested.

  • Evidence required

    A claim with no basis yet, which must be documented before anything rests on it.

02 · Verified scientific evidence

03 · Vendor-provided evidence

What would change our view

An entry moves classification only when new evidence justifies it, and the reason is recorded. Assumptions that cannot be validated within the research window remain assumptions, and are treated as such in every subsequent decision.

  • A vendor quotation with comparable scope, allowing a like-for-like total-cost comparison.
  • A measured rollout-accuracy curve for a world model on data it has never seen.
  • A proof of concept that fails its pre-agreed capability threshold, reported honestly.
  • Evidence that the relevant capability is commoditising faster than a licence could deliver it.

Sources consulted: published research literature; public protocol specifications; provider documentation reviewed at an introductory level only. No formal vendor evaluation has taken place.
