Holding-up
Also known as: Holding-up system, Holding-up protocol
The publication's discipline of tracking every primary claim it asserts on a 30–90 day review rhythm. Each claim is marked Holding, Partial, or Not holding. Status changes; claim text never changes.
How this publication uses it
Holding-up is what distinguishes the publication from every other AI blog. The reader does not have to take the publication's word that an analysis is current — the mechanism is open. Same input, same output, traceable from claim to source to verdict.
Etymology
Coined by Peter Walda for this publication's claim-accountability ledger. First public reference in AM-101 (build-log #1 — why this publication has a ledger), 2026.
