Dated histories become models and decision tools

We reconstruct a world from its records, learn how its state changes, and turn the model into tools for forecasts, triage and conditional scenarios. Agents choose actions; later outcomes tell us how those decisions worked.

  • Software: the September scaling study covers 28.40 million events from 20 repositories.
  • Clinical registry: AACT 2.0 combines trial and sponsor history for outcome forecasts.
  • Agents: ranked activity and independent reader panels across recorded corpora.
  • Companies: source reconstruction, authored synthetic companies and playable agent evaluation.

Results and tools

Learn the history, then help choose the next step

Models trained on dated records forecast later outcomes, rank activity for review and let agents compare conditional scenarios.

The linked decks and World Model Atlas carry the comparisons, model vintages and detailed evaluations. Project Confirm’s FDA oncology results are a separate earlier study.

The record

Preserve what was known when

Each event carries its time, source and the object it changed. Registry archives are compared in publication order; company reconstructions keep source-claimed times and capture times distinct.

  1. 01

    Recover source-linked histories of decisions and outcomes.

  2. 02

    Check source-era changes and drift to keep the record consistent.

  3. 03

    Train on earlier history and grade against later outcomes with matched-information controls.

A supplied scenario is a conditional sensitivity. An authored company mechanism is a synthetic assumption. The tools let people inspect both alongside the evidence.
