Receipt autopsies

What nobody could prove, written down within two days

When an AI system fails in public, the argument that follows is almost never about the failure. It is about what anyone can actually establish afterwards. An autopsy is a short public note that separates those two things.

The format never changes, which is the point. Same four sections every time, so the notes can be read against each other, and so the first draft is fast enough to publish while the question is still live.

The format

SectionWhat goes in it
what the parties claimEach side's position, quoted from what they published, with the link. No paraphrase.
what nobody can proveThe specific facts in dispute that no available record settles either way.
what a receipt would have shownThe field that would have carried each of those facts, and the moment it would have been written.
what we are not sayingExplicit. We never assert who is lying, who is at fault, or how any of it resolves.

An autopsy never names a company as failing and never asserts a defect in anyone's product. It describes what the public record can and cannot answer, which is a statement about records, not about people.

Published autopsies

None yet. The format is fixed and the page is live, so the first one publishes within forty eight hours of the next public failure worth writing about.

We are not going to backfill this with old incidents to make the page look busy.

If something broke in public and you want to know which parts of it are provable, send the link to [email protected]. We read every one and we will say no to most of them, because most public failures have a clear record already and there is nothing useful to add.

A Hive receipt proves what was asked, what was decided, what arrived, what was served, and when. It makes forgery expensive and discoverable. It does not tell you the answer was correct. Nothing on this page claims otherwise.
