Disclosure

Affiliation. I'm a final-year law student at Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Faculty of Law and Political Sciences, Budapest, and that's the affiliation this work is published under. No institution has reviewed or endorsed it, and there's no laboratory behind it.

Competing interest. I'm also a principal of Arcanian Consulting in Budapest — arcanian.ai — which sells services related to the kind of problem I write about here. If this class of problem is taken seriously, I benefit. That's worth holding in mind while you read. No funding was received for any of the work on this site.

Where the evidence comes from. Some of it comes from paid work. I've been doing search and online marketing since 2002, and the firm's site is archived from May of that year. A few of the findings exist only because these systems got built, used, and watched failing on real engagements. Client material is never published, cases are described structurally, and where something rests on a single case I say so.

Evidence grading. None of the three deposits has been peer reviewed. They're repository deposits with an identifier, which is not the same thing. Where a result is exploratory rather than confirmatory, the deposit says so and so does this site. Where an instrument hasn't been validated yet, that's written down rather than left out.

Corrections. If something here is wrong, I'd rather know: laszlo@fazakas.me.
