THE EVIDENCE LIBRARY // FIVE LABELS · 24 TRACKED MODES · REVIEWED ON A CLOCK

Citations With Expiry Dates

Every empirical claim in the book carries an epistemic label and links to a source page I maintain after publication. Each page shows a review date, so you never argue from a dead source.

Why A Printed Citation Goes Stale

AN ENDNOTE ASSERTS FOREVER · THE RESEARCH DOES NOT SIT STILL

THE SHELF-LIFE PROBLEM

A printed endnote asserts a fact permanently. Research on model behavior keeps moving. A finding documented in 2023 may no longer hold against a 2026 model, and a frozen endnote cannot warn you. A maintained source page can.

WHAT THE BOOK DOES ABOUT IT

The book states the mechanism and the control. The empirical status lives here, with a date on it. Before you carry one of my claims into a meeting, check this page and see when I last confirmed the source still stands.

What The Labels Mean

FIVE LABELS · EVERY EMPIRICAL CLAIM CARRIES ONE

RESEARCH
Documented finding from published research. Primary source cited.
REPORTED
Publicly reported case. Primary source, not press coverage.
ANALYSIS
The author's reasoning. Not independently verified.
MODELED
Arithmetic from stated assumptions. Not a measured outcome.
RECOMMENDATION
Career advice. Judgment, not evidence.

Every exposure figure across the 24-mode taxonomy carries the MODELED label, in the book and on this page.

How This Library Works

A DATE, A CLOCK, AND A LOG

RULE 01A date on every claim

Each tracked claim shows when I last reviewed its source. The current stamp across the library is 2026-07-30.

RULE 02A 90-day clock

Sources are re-reviewed on a 90-day cadence. If a stamp ages past 90 days, treat that claim as due for a check.

RULE 03When a source dies

It does not linger. I relabel the claim or replace the figure, and the change lands in the revision log with a date. The log below shows this happening.

MOST PERISHABLE // MODE #6 · CONTEXT-WINDOW LIMITS

Long-context handling is an active area of improvement, and the positional effect may weaken. The control holds regardless. When the evidence moves, the review date and this entry move with it.

The Revision Log

Evidence Library established. Source audit applied to Part III: figures previously attributed to named research firms replaced with placeholders and labeled illustrative.

TWO PLACES TO PRESS HARDER · THEN THE BOOK ITSELF

Every Book Source Checked Twice

Every citation was verified twice before the first copy sold: once by me, once by independent audit against primary sources. The row-by-row record is public.
