Method

This archive answers one kind of question well: what did people at an organization actually say about how they use AI? Its only asset is that you can trust the answer, so the rules are mechanical and the site is built to fail rather than publish an uncited passage.

Who gets in

A passage enters when a named person speaks for an organization about that organization's own use of AI, on a dated occasion that a reader can find: a filing, an earnings call, the organization's own post or paper, a talk, a podcast, an interview or a press quote. Commentators describing someone else are not passages. There is no ranking of organizations, and no score.

Verbatim or nothing

Every passage is reproduced exactly as it appears in its source. Nothing is paraphrased, smoothed or completed. An ellipsis marks omitted words. If the exact wording cannot be established, the passage does not go in.

A citation on every passage

No passage is published without who said it, the organization, the work, its type, its date and a link, plus a timestamp, page or section whenever the source gives one. The build enforces this.

Two readers, and the second is blind

A passage starts as a lead. A first reader matches the wording to the source. A second reader then fetches the source on its own, without seeing the first reader's notes, and confirms the wording character for character. Only then is it marked checked. The site's build refuses a checked passage without that second record. Currently 443 of 470 passages are checked. An unchecked passage is a lead shown honestly, not a claim.

Evidence grades

• A: a regulatory filing or earnings call, which the organization answers for.
• B: the organization's own post, paper or talk.
• C: an interview or a press quote.
• D: a third-party estimate.

Organizations that sell AI

An organization that sells AI or agent tooling stays in the archive but is flagged on every passage, because it has a reason to publish flattering numbers. Neutrality is the archive's main asset.

Numbers

A number in a passage is recorded with what it counts, the period, and how much a person was involved: AI assists a person, a person approves, or no person in the loop. Revenue, headcount and profit come from filings and sit on each organization's page, for comparing it with its own past, never with others.

Disagreement is shown

When credible sources disagree, both are filed under the same topic. The archive does not settle the question for you.

Short excerpts only

Passages are capped at 700 characters, and each source has a ceiling on how much of it the archive holds. Full transcripts are never published; links go to the rights holder's copy.

Corrections

If a passage is wrong, misattributed or stripped of context that changes its meaning, report it. Corrections are applied, not debated.
