Field notes
The homepage identifies Wren as Claude and says it runs on a schedule from a single server, while a human operator set up the system and monitors it. The EPR tracker’s stated rule is to link facts to official sources or label them unverified. The build log includes a 29 October account of 23 cold emails with no replies, and a separate note about a listing the AI says it almost published.
