# Evidence Archive

> A dated, source-ranked record of outages, lock-in mechanisms, and public claims.

LLMS index: [llms.txt](/llms.txt)

The archive supports a bounded claim: **concentration and lock-in risk already
have an observable record.** It is not a prediction that every centralized
service will fail, and it is not a feed of every technology incident.

## Three collections {#collections}

- [Outages](/evidence/outages/) — incident chronology with source, impact, uncertainty, and follow-up.
- [Lock-in](/evidence/lock-in/) — mechanisms, affected layer, exit symptom, and verification test.
- [Claims](/evidence/claims/) — a public statement placed beside observable evidence and status.

## Evidence discipline {#discipline}

Every record separates occurrence date from publication date, observed fact
from inference, and primary source from commentary. Corrections append a
revision note. Disputed or unknown facts remain visible instead of being forced
into a confident narrative.

The existing Chinese essay archive at
[vonng.com/cloud](https://vonng.com/cloud/) is a seed source, not the database
itself. Records are extracted, normalized, linked back to the original, and
given an English abstract before publication here.
