++ We watch whether the fields we back speed up. We do not claim our interventions are what + made them. +
++ We don’t claim our interventions directly cause these fields to accelerate. Field-level + attribution isn’t cleanly identifiable: four fields, no counterfactual, effects that lag + years, and interventions small next to the forces already moving a frontier. For now we hold + that gap honestly — we name the interventions we run and read whether the field moves, + without drawing a causal line between the two. +
++ Making that loop clearer is work we intend to do: tracing specific interventions to specific + outcomes, being honest about how strong each link is, and asking the people on the receiving + end what they would have done otherwise, including where they’d have gotten there without + us. When that evidence is solid enough to stand on, we plan to publish it here. +
