Use this page to choose a reading path. You do not need every protocol file to try ClaimBound.
For first-time readers, program reviewers, journalists and external inspectors:
- Reviewer path (one page) — fastest honest baseline
- ClaimBound in 30 seconds
- Reviewer summary — problem, baseline vs planned work, differentiation from adjacent projects
- Common misreadings
- Current evidence tracks — plain-language map of all registry cards
- ESA 500-card heatmap — interactive coverage map and method
- Evidence card examples
- Case studies
- Planned work not shipped — roadmap vs current code
- Artifacts catalog — NYC TLC / CDC artifact-only records
- Public roadmap 2026
- European Dimension
Closing VERIFY mirrors? See Volunteer one-pager or External verification packs. Issues #85–#87 are open for independent external operators.

For contributors extending validators, runners or card tooling:
- Contributing guide
- Evidence card protocol
- Manual audit protocol
- AI operator protocol
- Software development workflow
These layers help manage related tracks and complex R&D families. They are not required to read cards, run demos or validate the registry.
- Protocol layers v2 and v3
- Protocol v3 tree overlay
- R&D family protocol
- Track families
- 12 AI Life Rules
- Future applications
Optional methodology patterns kept out of the main card table:
- Program eligibility self-check — applicant-side example only; not program approval or endorsement evidence
Acceptance criteria for planned infrastructure. These are design documents, not completed implementations. See Planned work not shipped.
These pages support specific audiences or future direction. They are not part of the default reviewer or operator path.
