This site checks the seven claims of Appendix G of The Architecture of Money against the evidence, every quarter, in public.

Prose is set in Newsreader, Production Type's face for long reading on screens, drawn in optical sizes so that body text, headings and sidenotes each use a cut made for their size. Dates, section labels, statuses and sources are set in IBM Plex Mono, whose fixed widths keep dates and figures aligned in columns. IBM Plex Mono was designed by Mike Abbink, who also drew the Milo family.

The palette is paper, ink and one gold, kept for marks, rules and hover states rather than for reading text. Status is shown four ways at once—word, color, shape and fill—so it survives grayscale printing: a filled circle for on-track, a half-filled circle for drifting, a hollow circle for unclear, a filled square for reversed.

Text runs to a measure of about 58 characters, and hairline rules separate rows and sections. On wide screens a reading's sources sit in the margin beside the paragraph they support; on narrow screens and in print they follow the prose as a numbered list.

Readings are dated to the quarter—January 30, April 30, July 30, October 30—and draw only on evidence available by that date. Each reading also records when it was published; method changes are logged on the methodology page and every correction is listed on the corrections page.
