Maturity Ladder
Level 1Strong

Technology Validation

“Is the science behind this real?”

What this level means

The underlying technology is documented, defensible, and reproducible by a third party. A reviewer can read the methodology, replicate the scoring calculation, and audit the question bank integrity without trusting our infrastructure.

Current status: Strong — this level is mature

Three independently verifiable artifacts ground the technology claim: the IEEE-format paper carries the methodology, the Cohen's d analysis defends the statistical claims, and the Ethereum-mainnet anchor (block 24,467,724) makes the question bank tamper-evident. Eleven provisional patents document the novel contributions.

Promotion criterion to Level 2

The technology can be demonstrated as a working artifact, not just a paper. This criterion is met — see Level 2: Product Build.
