# For agents: What the evidence supports

OpenProse today · board 16 of 17 · 2026-10-09.
This deck records dated experimental evidence, not general reliability.

Separate available definitions, bounded observations, and claims the evidence has not established.

## On the slide

**Available:** versioned public definitions.

**Observed:** useful bounded work, composition, and assessments.

**Still open:** dependable operation, broad portability, customer value, and revenue.

## Explanation

All twenty packages have bounded mathematical, synthetic, or mocked work and independent assessment evidence. The bounded library campaign launched 158 native attempts; that is not 158 passing contracts. Publication checks verified 1,124 current-release and default requests; those checked delivery and bytes, not model behavior. Failures, incomplete attempts, context exposure, and unsupported success claims remain in the evidence. Conformance to an agreement and task performance need separate assessment. No model ranking, production reliability, real professional effect, or adoption and revenue conclusion follows from this campaign. Its practical contribution is a public library and a more discriminating way to examine actual work.

## Whiteboard sequence
