## Ledger

- 2026-08-29: Moat lines rewritten to assert only what the engine classification means (hands-on / protected by law / people want a real person / no special protection). No scores changed.
- 2026-08-19: Correction: careers without a moat record stopped showing a confident "NO MOAT" claim and now show "moat not yet classified". Exposure scores were and remain real for every career.
- 2026-08-16: First public measurement: AI exposure per occupation from Anthropic 2026 observed-usage research; door grades and 20-year horizons from OpenAI "The AI Jobs Transition Framework" (Richmond 2026, CC BY 4.0).
