We use GLM-5.3 through OpenRouter for structured research, statistical criticism, adversarial review, citation checking, and editing. Deterministic Python computes the numbers. Every online run records its model map, prompt contracts, findings, and gate decision.
Honest current state: our two published launch studies used deterministic offline review checklists. The first live GLM-5.3 run will identify itself in its manifest; we will never imply an AI touched work it did not touch.

Flagship studies are free. We will consider Stripe only after a recurring decision tool ships reliably, earns reader demand, publishes scorecards, and has commercial rights for every paid input. Display ads wait for meaningful reach and a strict reader-experience policy.
