Live AI eval findings

Palimpsest result

Use when

You want each newly verified run or changed finding.

Adds

Controls, uncertainty, revision identity and sentence-level evidence coverage.

Does not

Turn a clean control or sealed hash into proof that the evaluation construct is valid.

AI eval methods journal

Palimpsest method

Use when

You want method changes, failed assumptions and longer explanations.

Adds

Named claims, falsifiers, evidence attachments and a content hash.

Does not

Replace the live findings feed when you need the current run state.

Instrument records

Measurement or explicit no-result notice

Use when

You only want Palimpsest's own observatory records.

Adds

A current metric when one exists; otherwise an availability notice that says why no result is published. Both retain the source receipt, edition-time status and limitation.

Does not

Turn unavailable into zero, include the external publisher source index or infer a cause from co-movement.

Source index + instrument records

Mixed and explicitly labeled

Use when

You need one machine-readable stream of indexed publisher reports, Palimpsest measurements and explicit availability notices.

Adds

Source grouping, revision identity, evidence-strength labels and instrument state updates.

Does not

Independently verify a publisher report or disguise a missing result as a measurement. Single-source entries stay labeled as source reports.

China source index

Publisher report + next checks

Use when

You want China-relevant publisher items with the next verification move attached.

Adds

A source relationship, bounded position, known unknowns and direct evidence-dossier link.

Does not

Republish an article as a Palimpsest conclusion or guarantee the source report is true.

Chinese news in English

Machine-draft translation + separate context

Use when

You need every Chinese-dominant title and bounded excerpt Palimpsest retained in accessible English.

Adds

The original Chinese, immutable source identity, translation receipt, and a separately labeled why-it-matters note.

Does not

Fetch or translate publisher article bodies, silently turn context into source reporting, or claim human-certified perfection.

China situation synthesis

Three layers, relations preserved

Use when

You want publisher reports, exact-link social observations and Observatory measurements in one event view.

Adds

Layer coverage, source-lineage counts, current measurements, missing context and next checks.

Does not

Turn social circulation or topic-level measurement context into verification, causation or another independent source.

China censorship analysis

Palimpsest analysis or explicit no-result notice

Use when

You want the current cross-instrument China censorship finding or a clear explanation that no finding can be published.

Adds

Sentence-level receipts, citation coverage, finding state and revision identity when analysis is allowed; otherwise one current rights-linked availability item in both formats.

Does not

Collapse unlike instruments, recycle an old finding, hide a missing result, or convert unavailable data into evidence of calm.

Reviewed Telegram context

Unverified context

Use when

You want sanitized, human-reviewed context that may suggest a later check.

Adds

Uncertainty, privacy boundary and next checks without raw messages or identifiers.

Does not

Count as evidence or corroboration, establish prevalence, or identify a person or network.
