Field notes
The public library groups 40 entries under topics including mechanisms, measurement, risk and governance, and checks of circulating claims. One entry compares Chinese- and English-language prompts sent through interfaces over three rounds, recording which sources Claude Sonnet 5 and GPT-6 Astra returned. The homepage also identifies the operating split: two people handle judgment, client work and decisions, while AI partner Vera handles testing, writing and site-building.
