Public record / corrections
Change the record, not the standard.
This log records material factual, source, limitation, conflict, and primary-workflow classification changes. It separates a correction from an endorsement or a validation result.
2026-07-21 / Registry expansion v0.4
Added Simile from its public platform description and a contemporaneous independent Gallup research announcement. The record is classified in population simulation and remains source-reviewed; no new independent-validation, reproduction, or human-reference evidence checks were marked.
Gallup's announced evaluation is still underway, so it is recorded as context rather than as a result. This is a new source record, not an endorsement or comparative result.
Earlier same-day expansion / v0.3
Added Beehive AI Synthetic Personas, BluePill AI, Decisions Lab, Fairgen, GWI Synthetic Audiences, Inqvey, MiroFish, and Uxia under the same source-review standard. MiroFish has an additional recorded artifact check because its source code is publicly available; that is not a validation result.
Earlier same-day expansion / v0.2
Added Evidenza, Electric Twin, Epistemix, PersonaPanels, and Vurvey Labs under the same source-review standard.
A changed source, a changed description of a tool’s primary workflow, a corrected limitation or conflict, or an evidence-check update requires a dated record. Minor copy edits that do not alter factual meaning may be made without a separate entry.
Correction rights without editorial control.
- 01
Scope
Anyone may submit a factual correction, a primary source, an accessible research artifact, or a disclosure of a conflict or limitation.
- 02
Review
Editors assess the supplied evidence against the published methodology. A vendor response is evidence to review, not a reason to accept a claim.
- 03
Notice
When practical, an affected organization receives a correction window before a material factual change. Silence is never treated as agreement or validation.
- 04
Record
Accepted material changes receive a dated entry describing the affected record, what changed, why, and the source. Editorial rationale is preserved.
- 05
Boundary
Submitting a correction does not grant editorial control, improve an evidence check, create an endorsement, or change the funding disclosure.
Landscape changes remain auditable.
A primary workflow lane is a navigational classification based on public descriptions. A system can have many methods, but receives one lane so the landscape does not imply that human-participant tools, synthetic respondents, population simulations, and benchmarks are interchangeable.

Bring the source.
Provide the affected URL, the exact factual issue, the proposed wording, and a primary or persistent scholarly source. We will not treat submissions as publication requests or endorsement requests.
