Field notes
Dated notes on changes outside the site that bear on the standards, each linked to the terms and standards it touches.
Field notes are updated less often than the glossary, mechanisms, and diagnostics. Those pages carry dated changelogs.
Latest highlight
Jev and the price of a decision
On its first day, about 13% of Vercel's paid AI Gateway teams used a typed decision model, by Vercel's count. The standards now say where its authority lives.
When a consequential judgment costs a fraction of a cent, institutions put one at every branch. The site's core rule is that a system's authority may not grow faster than the capacity to inspect and correct it. A price drop this large pushes directly against that rule.

Jev and the price of a decision
TypeSafe AI's Jev returns typed answers and a confidence margin instead of text, at a small fraction of a language model's cost and latency. On its first day, Vercel said about 13% of its paid AI Gateway teams had used it, and agent frameworks were using it to gate tool calls, route tickets, and choose which model answers. Authority moved into the threshold, the router, and the reviewer's queue, and the reasons stopped coming from the thing that decided. STD-08, STD-09, and STD-02 now name each of those places.
