The Humanoid Economy

The claim that general-purpose robots have crossed from demonstration to industry - graded gate by gate. Filings against keynotes, autonomy against teleoperation, an $85,000 machine repriced to $16,000, and the utilisation numbers nobody publishes. Graded on the Five Gates: the machines work; the industry has not yet proven it works unattended.

The Proving Economy

Real-time proof went from sixteen minutes to sixteen seconds in a year - this report follows the money behind the milestone. Who proves, on what hardware, at what price per proof; how two live marketplaces auction proving; and why the security race started the day the speed race ended. Graded on the Commodity Test: proving has commoditised its speed, and its trust is still in escrow.

The State of Verifiable AI

One claim under test - “you no longer have to trust AI, you can verify it” - graded layer by layer: provenance, inference by proof and by hardware, training, evaluations and agents. Six verdicts, a five-rung Verification Ladder, the cost of a unit of trust, twelve months of checkable markers, and a 32-claim ledger with statuses and sources. 25 pages; never sponsored.

CORRECTIONS LOG

Reports № 01-03.
SITE-WIDE LOG →

No corrections to date. Policy: any correction to a published report produces a new canonical text, a new fingerprint, and a dated entry on this page - the previous fingerprint stays on the record beside it.

WHAT A REPORT IS

Analysis you can audit.

A Verifier report is long-form analysis with its homework attached: the written argument ships alongside the underlying dataset and the methodology used to build it, so any figure in the text can be traced to a row you can inspect. Where an article checks claims one by one, a report checks a whole territory.

Each report is permanent and versioned - revisions are logged in the corrections log like everything else we publish - and the data is released openly, so our conclusions can be challenged with our own numbers.
