// How the Republic Records Reality
Every claim the Republic makes speaks in one of two tenses: RUNNING — verifiable now, inspectable on request — or ROAD — the honest ambition, named plainly as ambition. That is why builder counts are reported as network reach, not rosters, and why a pilot is always labelled a pilot.

// Evidence Levels
// Contribute an Article
Knowledge Bank articles must be technical, evidence-based, and useful to builders. No marketing copy.
To contribute: write a `.md` file in `docs/knowledge/`, add an entry to `data/knowledge.ts`, open a PR titled `[DOCS] kb-slug`.
Evidence level: be honest. If it is framework-level, say so. If it is verified, link the deployment.
// Documentation is part of the product. Every mission leaves permanent capability behind.
