Evidence dossier / current interpretation
Claim-source review /
The reviewed public methodology distinguishes survey-distribution fidelity from validity, prediction, and human equivalence, and discloses the operator’s Althing conflict. This claim-source review adds no new established checks or independent reproduction.
This review covers the cited sources, not every possible claim or unpublished study. “No specific claim located” does not mean no claim exists.
What this profile establishes
The cited sources establish how the organization publicly describes the tool and its methods.
What it does not establish
Unless explicitly established above, this profile does not establish fidelity to human populations, behavioural prediction, independent reproducibility, or suitability for a decision.
