System v4 «Proof»

Five editorial promises, five design duties.

This is not a news feed. It is a reference you can check — and a design system is only worth having if every piece defends one of those promises.

The lists

Live ones carry photography, numbers and a date. Ones in preparation carry drawing, no numbers and no date.

eVTOL and air taxis

Type certification is the only milestone that matters, and almost nobody has one. A tracker organised around that fact.

Longevity compounds

Rapamycin, metformin, senolytics, NAD precursors. What has a randomised human trial, what has a mouse, and what has a podcast.

The five promises

1

Every number has a date

Each cell carries the source it came from and the day it was verified — not one date for the whole page.

Duty: No value may be rendered without its provenance chip. If the provenance does not fit, the component is wrong, not the data.

2

Claimed is not confirmed

A press release and an audited record are not worth the same. Announced units never count as delivered units.

Duty: The evidence scale has five states, each with its own shape. Colour never carries the meaning on its own.

3

Empty stays empty

Where nobody published a number, the cell stays blank and says why. We never interpolate a plausible value.

Duty: Absence has its own visual treatment — the 45° hatch — and never disguises itself as a dash, a zero or white space.

4

We keep the failures

Shutdowns, refusals, failed endpoints and slipped dates stay on the record.

Duty: The graveyard is a designed section, not a footnote — and the duotone is reserved for it.

5

The data belongs to whoever reads it

Every list publishes its dataset with all sources intact, under CC BY 4.0.

Duty: The download button lives in the hero meta bar, not in the footer. A list you cannot take away is not a reference.
