Methodology

Evidence status, stated plainly.

Every substantial resource, project and heritage claim carries a visible or internally managed evidence state. The presence of a catalogue entry never implies validation.

Demonstrated

A working implementation or documented test exists.

In development

Active technical work; not production-ready.

Pilot

A scoped implementation is being evaluated.

Research framework

A technical or economic method to guide validation; not a performance result.

Historical implementation

Prior working development; current availability must be confirmed.

Public product

An externally visible product exists; this does not validate every performance statement.

Patent record

A verified filed or granted record; do not infer product performance from patent status.

Distinctions we hold

Do not confuse the left with the right.

“Validated” is used only where the record identifies the tested system, baseline, conditions, metric and approving evidence.
