post(blog): the clearing mechanics replace the pennies — why $20 per agent-year clears: a carrier cannot price a loss it cannot count, so a countable incident rate is worth the premium it makes possible; the deployer's alternative is no cover, not no licence; the carrier makes the record a condition so it is bought like a smoke detector; a recomputable claim settles without discovery, which is what the carrier buys; the operator with a record pays once at the underwriting and transacts at speed — the friction differential is the clearing mechanism (both posts)
This is a live, recomputable drift receipt — the on-chip proof of where this commit's work landed (in its authorized domain, out of it, or unplaced), sealed with a signature anyone can verify. It is the same receipt shipped in the on-commit email, hosted here so the claim is checkable on the open web. The full receipt (attestation, density panel, full commit message) publishes at /commit/93f042e26/ shortly after the commit lands.
This is the proven asset: the drift read was produced by a real on-chip walk on sensor: metal, sealed with an ed25519 signature over the canonical body, and bound to the exact lattice by gridHash. Anyone can recompute it and check the signature — no trust in us required.
These are measurements, not a validated risk score. In a pre-registered predictive test the drift metric did not predict real defects (AUC ≈ 0.50, at chance) and the σ is pinned — so nothing here is a probability of loss and nothing here is a price. It is honest telemetry we publish while the instrument is under calibration.
