Worked example: the newest record

A 24-month claim filed one day before the snapshot.

Snapshot 2026-10-25 240 claims 138 citations 209 people

The most recent cited record in the ledger is a prediction about companies becoming builders rather than buyers of models, with a two-year horizon. It was made the day before this snapshot was taken.

It is included to show that the ledger is a living file rather than a historical anthology, and to demonstrate how quickly a claim can go from a conference stage to a datestamped row.
