Pay for the reading.
Phase 1 counted the citations. Phase 2 reads them: every citing sentence with open full text, with experts checking a random sample of the machine’s calls. Your money pays for those people.
Give now through GitHub Sponsors, once or monthly, from $10. For a larger gift, or to give through the nonprofit sponsor once it is in place, pledge below: a pledge is not charged or binding, and pledgers hear first when that opens. Gifts are not tax-deductible yet.

The machine costs cents. People cost money.

Separate strands, one public ledger.
- Kept apartGrants, compute credits and cash are never pooled. Each is spent on its own terms, by its own rules.
- One ledgerEvery gift and every spend is published, with what it paid for.
- No single ownerNo funder pays more than about a quarter of a disputed campaign.
- A finish lineA campaign that misses its published finish twice loses its funding.
