Launch your thesis

On the record.
Publish what you believe, the reasoning behind it, and the evidence you are standing on. Assert stamps it, hashes it, and keeps the original fixed. Update it as your view moves. Resolve it when the answer arrives.
The loop
Six steps, one record.
Write the claim, give it a visual, show the evidence, publish it to a permanent URL, then keep it current and call it when the answer lands.
Track record
A thesis is only worth what it resolves to.
Publishing is the easy half. Assert keeps score of the other half: what you called, when you called it, and how it turned out.
An illustration of how a profile reads, not anybody's figures.
Only resolved theses count toward a record
The author's own verdict, with an explanation attached
Counts as half a hit
Outcomes on Assert are reported by the author. Assert does not verify them.
What you said. When you said it.
Most opinions are edited quietly after the fact. A thesis on Assert cannot be. The original text and its sources are sealed the moment you publish, and everything that comes afterwards is dated and attached to it, so the whole arc stays readable.
- The original is fixed at publication and hashed
- New information arrives as timestamped updates
- You resolve it yourself, in the open, with an explanation
Everything a thesis has to carry.
A prediction with no reasoning is noise. A record you can edit is not a record. Assert asks for all of it, once, and then holds it still.
The claim and the reasoning
One line for what you assert, then the argument behind it in full. Both are part of the original and neither can be quietly rewritten later.
Evidence and sources
Every source is a real URL, annotated in your words, and published with the thesis. They are part of what gets hashed.
A timestamp and a hash
At publication Assert stores a canonical copy of the thesis and a SHA-256 of it. Anyone can recompute the hash from the record page.
Updates, not edits
Your view will move. Say so in an update, dated and appended. The original stays exactly as published, beneath it.
A resolution you have to sign
Correct, partially correct, incorrect or unresolved, with an explanation. It is your own verdict, labelled as such, and it goes on your record either way.
The public record
Build a record worth reading.
Your profile is the sum of what you published, when, and how it resolved. Open theses and closed ones, side by side, in your own words.
