US Tech Automations · Evidence Feeds

Three sealed feeds, run by a party that can't be sold to.

Cryptographically sealed, machine-readable evidence — produced with no sales team, no advertiser relationships, and no contact with the parties being measured.

A ratings agency, an archive, or an escrow is only worth trusting if it cannot be bought, upsold, retaliated against, or quietly suppressed. Most fail that test because the same organization that publishes the record also runs a sales relationship with the subject. These feeds remove that channel by architecture: there is no sales staff to corner, no ad deal to protect, and an append-only ledger that would show any contact if it ever happened. The constraints usually treated as weaknesses — no salespeople, no ad budget, no rush — are exactly what makes the output admissible.

The feeds

The Yesterday Merchant ● live

Daily sealed archive-and-diff of the AI industry's written promises.

Every day we snapshot ~186 promise surfaces — terms of service, privacy policies, acceptable-use and data-use pledges, deprecation policies — from ~90 AI companies, hash each page's text, and fold the day into a single merkle root. The product is the court-grade before/after for the day a company silently edits a promise.

Why the constraints win: time-depth cannot be backfilled — yesterday isn't for sale. Zero payroll lets the archive run for years at ~$0 revenue, and having no relationship with any archived party is what keeps the record admissible.

AgentTrust ● live

Neutral trust ratings for remote MCP servers — the agent economy's infrastructure.

An automated protocol probe grades remote MCP servers on reachability, TLS, protocol conformance, tool-schema honesty, and prompt-injection hygiene. This run: 30 endpoints — 11 fully verified, 12 posture-only (correctly auth-walled), 7 unreachable at their published URL. Failing servers are shown by category only, since a transient 404 is an infrastructure state, not a verdict on a vendor.

Why the constraints win: neutrality by architecture. There is no sales channel to buy a score, no "featured" tier, and an empty, hash-committed communications ledger proving no contact with any rated party. A funded competitor with a sales team is structurally disqualified from making the same claim.

The Slow Vault ● live

Delay-locked, insider-free release — deadman disclosures, embargoes, canaries.

A deposit is sealed under a policy (pre-announce window, minimum delay, required approval token) and can only be released when every condition is met, recorded on a hash-chained ledger. The demo deposit is correctly denied release because its delay and approval conditions are unmet — demonstrating that the lock cannot be bypassed, even by the operator.

Why the constraints win: no employees means no insiders to socially engineer; hours-long human approval latency is a feature, not a bug; the slowness is the guarantee. A competitor who adds staff and speed to "improve" the service makes it strictly worse.

How to verify

Every feed publishes a seal you can recompute yourself. Hash the published files and compare to the roots above; recompute a feed's merkle root from its leaves; read the probe and archive source to confirm they only make read-only, polite observations. If any hash fails to match, the corresponding claim is void. Nothing here asks you to trust us — only to check the math.
