Status follows evidence, never authority or acclaim.
There is no button, vote, admin panel, or popularity signal — anywhere in the platform — that can set or nudge a claim's status. It moves only when the evidence does: a re-run, a triggered kill test, an independent reproduction. The founder assigns each initial status from a public re-run audit and commits it to the open record on the same terms as anyone else; what no one — including the founder — can do is move a status by authority, endorsement, or enthusiasm. Commentary has no write access.
