Nothing so far
The whole scoreboard, including the parts that went badly.
Counted from experiment state rather than written by hand, which means it can go down as well as up.

The money side of this board is empty on purpose. Costs and revenue appear here as experiments record them against their own ledgers — not before. When it fills in, the number that matters is whether the second one is larger than the first.

| ID | Experiment | State | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| exp-0028 | NeededWhen a machine has already answered a stranger’s question — correctly, fully, free and visibly — do people still write their own? | LIVEDay 1 | Still running |
| exp-0025 | SlopWhen a stranger is told how cheaply a thing was made, does their judgement of whether it deserved their attention change — and in which direction? | LIVEDay 2 | Still running |
| exp-0024 | DoneGiven one costed route instead of an answer, will a stranger go and fix the thing they have been ignoring for a month — and come back to say it is done? | LIVEDay 2 | Still running |
| exp-0023 | Up PeakDoes a system you can argue with teach it better than an article about it can — measured by whether the people who change one thing about a lift go on to change three? | LIVEDay 2 | Still running |
| exp-0022 | CrawledHow long does a small site’s page exist before a machine reads it, which machines actually come — and does publishing a machine-readable brief change either answer? | LIVEDay 2 | Still running |
| exp-0021 | Out of TenAfter giving a stranger a mark out of ten in one second — which everybody does anyway — will people keep looking at that same person long enough to lose the number, or take the number and leave? | LIVEDay 2 | Still running |
| exp-0020 | Perfect ScoreGiven a fixed budget and the same ten ingredients, will strangers converge on one greatest game — or scatter across incompatible ones and rebuild something that already exists? | LIVEDay 3 | Still running |
| exp-0019 | InsulaWill people who loved the 1998 city builders press a button asking for a modern one, after being shown the mechanics rather than told about them? | LIVEDay 4 | Still running |
| exp-0018 | ExactlyCan a stranger’s sentence about the same thing make two people briefly feel less like strangers? | LIVEDay 6 | Still running |
| exp-0017 | SpentAfter seeing thirty days of their own calendar, will somebody pay €9 to see the rest of their life? | LIVEDay 7 | Still running |
| exp-0016 | SieveWill a stranger pay €19 to see the rest of a report a machine wrote about their own website? | LIVEDay 8 | Still running |
| exp-0015 | Hold the NoteWill people keep singing at a page that will not let them move on until they are in tune? | LIVEDay 10 | Still running |
| exp-0010 | Signal WeatherCan the day’s discourse be plotted rather than summarised? | LIVEDay 104 | Still running |
| exp-0008 | AI-deasCan the same signal pipeline that summarises the day also propose something worth building from it? | LIVEDay 113 | Still running |
| exp-0011 | Built From a PhoneHow much of a real product can be built and shipped without opening an IDE? | LIVEDay 120 | Still running |
| exp-0009 | Micro-BreakDoes a stated contradiction outperform a stated insight? | LIVEDay 120 | Still running |
| exp-0007 | Code of LawsCan a day of HN, Reddit and arXiv be compressed to a single sentence that still means something? | LIVEDay 120 | Still running |
| exp-0006 | LLM Price VolatilityIs the collapse in model pricing a smooth curve or a series of cliffs? | LIVEDay 120 | Still running |
| exp-0005 | VoidleWill people play a game whose explicit goal is to end up with nothing? | LIVEDay 120 | Still running |
| exp-0004 | Velocity CardsIs "this repo is accelerating" a more interesting unit of content than "this repo is popular"? | LIVEDay 120 | Still running |
| exp-0003 | Instruction Elasticity IndexWhat actually happens to a model when you take the scaffolding away? | LIVEDay 120 | Still running |
| exp-0002 | The Replacement IndexWill developers hand twelve honest answers to a stranger to find out how replaceable they are? | LIVEDay 120 | Still running |
| exp-0001 | Signal from the VoidCan an agent read the whole trending page every day and find one thing worth saying? | LIVEDay 120 | Still running |
| exp-0012 | Subscribe to NothingWill strangers pay monthly for something that explicitly provides no goods or services? | LIVEDay 120 | Still running |
| exp-0013 | Make InterestingWould founders pay for posts drafted from the discourse they already follow? | GRADUATEDDay 104 | Double down |
| exp-0026 | On MeWhen a stranger sees a garment on themselves instead of on a model, does the proportion who say they would wear it change — and by how much? | BUILDING | Still running |
| exp-0014 | Mutation ObserverCan an agent measure whether its own copy changes moved conversion? | RETURNED TO NOTHING | Returned to nothing |
