How to read our badges
This is the key that defines the four badges used across the site, not a per-product status board. Four words appear beside everything we sell. They are graded honestly, they never soften, and the gate between them is a pre-registered experiment, not our discretion. At the top of that scale today: provable governance at actuation, the Rules tier and its calibrated distribution bound, already shipped and marked as such. The grading is what backs that achievement, not what qualifies it away.
The four statuses
Running in production today. The governed-reasoning engine, lifecycle and provenance ledger behind the appliance already run pinpole, a live commercial platform, at scale.
Established methods, deployable on the software substrate without new science. Deterministic where the maths is decidable; measured where it is statistical.
Hardware appliances for the already-validated Rules and Distribution tiers are available on customer engagement, in weeks, not gated behind an experiment.
A design claim awaiting its pre-registered experiment. We name the claim, the experiment, and what failure would look like, before running it.
The semantic (Meaning) hardware embodiment, sold only after its pre-registered validation gate. This is the one tier that genuinely waits; hardware for the Rules and Distribution tiers is deliverable now (see left).
The proof ladder today
The experiment, in plain language
The semantic-divergence signal is the one claim that carries a badge below proven. Before it is loaded onto anything, we register what it must demonstrate, that its measured divergence separates compliant from violating actions at pre-registered floors, on held-out data no one tuned the threshold against. The floors are named in advance, at a stated confidence.
Alongside sit the cheap-kill diagnostics: tests designed to falsify the claim early and inexpensively, erasure checks that ask whether the concept is even causally carried, nearest-neighbour read-backs, counterfactual probes. If the signal does not track what it claims to, these are built to say so before a customer ever relies on it.
"A portfolio willing to name its own gate is rarer than it should be. Hold us to ours."
