← The work

Verified or nothing

The adversarial self-check that gates every number before it reaches the bridge.

When AI·BI marks a figure Verified, it means a specific gate was passed — not that someone felt confident.

The gate, in order: fix the bearing (entity, segment, period, attribution); validate every join and check for fan-out; sanity-check totals against a known benchmark; run an adversarial pass that tries to refute the number; and disclose every caveat before any conclusion. Only then does it carry the Verified badge.

This is a methods note in progress — Sounding on our maturity gradient — and it will firm up as we publish the worked examples behind each step.
