Cases

Six systems, and the interface of each one running here

These are not screenshots or write-ups of work you have to take on trust. Four of them are real HTML, CSS and JavaScript lifted out of the repository and running on this site against anonymised fixtures — the filters filter, the scores are computed by the same function that computed them in production, and where a layout had to be rebuilt rather than lifted, the case says so on its own page. The two arena boards are different in origin: they were built here, from published scientific catalogues, and each one says so in its own dateline.

Five of them are operating systems: something arrives faster than a person can handle it, so a machine researches it, scores it against a written rubric, and hands a human the decision rather than making it. The sixth is different — it is the claim ledger from the American Alchemy work, and it is here because it is the same method pointed at evidence instead of applicants.

Operating systems

The same method, pointed at evidence

What these have in common

Every one of them is a scoring function someone can read, applied to a working set someone can count, producing an artifact a human then acts on. None of them decide anything by themselves, and that is not modesty about the technology — it is the design. A system that auto-approves is a system whose mistakes you find out about from the person they happened to.

The other shared property is that each case states what is real and what was rebuilt. Lifting an interface out of a repository and running it on invented data is honest; letting a reader believe the invented data is a customer list is not.

Where a case shows a confidence band, the band is derived rather than asserted: eight components are scored separately and summed, so a reader who disagrees can disagree with one line instead of with a verdict. The rubric, the live distribution across 801 claims, and the three checks that audit the corpus against its own rule are on the method page — including the day one of those checks failed.

Client and partner work with no publishable artifact is not listed here or on the overview. A credential I cannot hand you a document for is not a credential.
