Honesty stamp: GREEN

Deck slide — Legacy AI ops vs SKENAI parametric marketplace comparison table

Three meters — not vanity counters

SKENAI does not headline "jobs posted" or undifferentiated log volume. The parametric marketplace meters terminal closure on outcome parameters buyers actually purchase.

1. Settlement velocity

Terminal marketplace events per day — completed jobs with artifacts and ledger-linked cost. Public chart at /network/growth. This is the growth curve that matters for partners evaluating whether the network learns from real work.

2. Learning-grade corpus

Rows in job expectation corpus tagged signal_class: real with honest dispatch_source. These feed per-(skill, mode) success priors only when n ≥ 3. Below that threshold the API returns insufficient_data — never silent extrapolation from one skill onto all dispatch.

3. Receipt composability

[redacted] URLs, marketplace terminal rows, and audit exports a partner can cite without entering our vendor dashboard. Portable proof is the observability upgrade over legacy AI ops.

Legacy vs SKENAI (from the deck)

Dimension Legacy AI ops SKENAI parametric marketplace
Observability Agent activity locked in vendor dashboards Portable [redacted] + terminal marketplace state
Success metric Job posted or scheduled job ran Completed ∧ artifact present ∧ XP cost linked
Priors Aggregate rate from undifferentiated logs Per-(skill, mode) with explicit insufficient-data guard
World model Research deck Live instrumentation on dispatch

We do not publish headline final ŷ totals without synthetic vs learning-grade split. Honesty is part of the instrument.
