Evidence practice

Claims that depend on external facts point to recognized authorities. We avoid unverifiable statistics. Where the field is contested (e.g., AGI timelines), we present scenario framing rather than prophecy.

Internal linking

Every article links to related peers so no cornerstone is an orphan. The homepage and articles index expose the full set for crawl discovery.

Technical method

Pages are PHP-rendered HTML with shared includes (header/nav/footer), a single CSS file, and deferred JS. No WordPress runtime. Schema.org JSON-LD is emitted for Organization, WebSite, Article, BreadcrumbList, and FAQPage where applicable.

Review cadence

Cornerstones carry an updated date. Material capability claims should be re-checked when major evaluation norms or standards change.
