question
Do more faithful commercial representations lead to better selection outcomes?
Q-1status · open2026-07-13
The founding bet of the research program, written as a question so it can be tested instead of assumed. Commerce runs on representations: websites, claims, demos, and now the machine-readable profiles AI evaluators read. Does the faithfulness of those representations actually lead to better selection outcomes? That's testable, and the company is staked on the same answer. If fidelity doesn't pay, we got more than the research wrong.
