Fairness of the capability-class probes is verified empirically, not by lexical disjointness. The full harness ships in the reproduction pack.

Millions of documents. Milliseconds to answer.

Same query, same answer — provable.

Every response carries a _provenance envelope (engine version, git sha, index state hash); every render is journaled as a chained SHA-256 event. The mechanics live on the trust page — the reproduction pack adds the benchmark harness, raw timings and corpus manifest so a third party can re-run everything above.

Externally verifiable.

Hardware, corpus, run policy and dates are published with every number; the harness is reproducible end to end. We say “externally verifiable” — and will upgrade to “independently replicated” when a named party has reproduced the results. Company-wide engine benchmarks (Protor) live at vectorio.io/evidence.
