// on the record

The track record.

A few calls, put on the record before the dust settled — dated, public, and left exactly as we made them. We said it here first; come back and see how each one held up.

Re-checked 2026-07-25 — all five verdicts here were re-verified against what's happened since filing and still hold up. Claude Fable 5 was pulled from this record: our original research missed that the model had been suspended worldwide by the US Commerce Department, so it's being corrected before it stands here again. We add only the calls worth standing behind — a few each month.
