Field notes
The first edition's page says the model made 34 searches and read 66 pages before answering. It organizes the proposal into nine decrees, including costs and the strongest objection to each, then lists ten forecasts with ranges and reasoning. The method says every figure needs a source or an unverified label, and the answer is withheld if it fails a format check twice. The site explicitly treats outcomes under the imagined plan as uncheckable.
