Field notes
Entries use numbered case files, with model names, reported costs, prompt text, and outcome summaries visible in the supplied homepage extract. The featured video experiment compares Seedance variants using shared prompts and references; its description also notes additional takes that changed the setup. The homepage labels its running total as money wasted, making the project's accounting part of the editorial frame rather than a performance claim.
