SOTA, measured

Every number on this page is read from the sovereign store and the durable ledger at the moment the page is generated. No human authors this file — the previous hand-written version drifted to a figure that was twelve days stale and pointed the wrong way, which is the whole reason it is generated now.

Scope is deliberate. This page owns only what an instrument can measure. The external yardsticks — SWE-bench Verified, DORA, seL4, Vortex 3.0, with the false comparisons refused rather than fudged — are research output a human lane owns, and they live at /sota-benchmarks. Borrowing those numbers into a generated page would make them look measured when they are cited.

Is that growth real? — advancement vs expansion

The headline is levels earned / bar, so declaring a new frontier raises the denominator and pushes the percentage DOWN even though nothing regressed. That makes the headline alone directionally misleading, so it is decomposed here. A span where the domain count held still is attributed EXACTLY; a span that added domains cannot be attributed from aggregates and is counted ambiguous rather than quietly claimed.

advancement (exact)

rungs genuinely climbed, over 112 stable-cohort spans

expansion

Window: headline 328‰ → 393‰ · levels earned 21 → 48 · domains 14 → 26 · over 125 measurable ledger rows of 883 scanned.

Exact attribution, by name

The section above is bounded by what an aggregate ledger can prove. This one is not. Because the per-domain ledger records which domain held which level at each beat, growth is settled by diffing domains by name — so climbed, declared, demoted and retired are four different things and are counted separately, with nothing left ambiguous.

What the ranks mean

Levels 0-3 describe the capability itself. Levels 4-5 are claims about a comparison against a named best-in-class competitor — a different question entirely, which is why they read oddly beside PRODUCTION. Both map to TRL 9: readiness saturates there and only the comparison differs, so the two axes were never one scale. The industry anchor is TRL 1-9 (NASA-origin, DoD procurement, ISO-canonized 2013), which measures readiness and deliberately says nothing about beating a competitor.

lvl	this board	capability graph	industry (TRL)	axis	reachable by a coverage %	evidence required
0	ABSENT	ABSENT	TRL 1	CAPABILITY	yes	nothing -- capability not represented
1	TOY	TOY	TRL 2-3	CAPABILITY	yes	runs on a demo/trivial surface
2	FUNCTIONAL	WORKS	TRL 4-5	CAPABILITY	yes	runs on REAL non-trivial inputs
3	PRODUCTION	GATED	TRL 6-8	CAPABILITY	yes	full real surface + error paths, operational
4	S-CLASS	ADOPTED	TRL 9	COMPARATIVE	NO	NAMED competitor + method + TRIANGULATED PARITY
5	EXCEED	SOTA	TRL 9	COMPARATIVE	NO	NAMED competitor + method + TRIANGULATED WIN

Anti-gaming: no coverage percentage can reach a COMPARATIVE rung. The deriving function is capped at PRODUCTION, and a gate sweeps every input 0-1000 to prove no permil yields level 4 or 5 — those require a named competitor, a stated method and a triangulated verdict, never a number.
