This site analyzes how AI reshapes the economy — and why a 1966 treaty the United States signed but never ratified holds the key to protecting economic rights during that transformation.
How This Site Works
Every page on this site adapts to your perspective. Five reading lenses emphasize different aspects of the same analysis — from personal impact to technical methodology. Use the lens toggle in the header to switch between them, or visit a persona page to start with yours:
Voters
Personal stakes, action steps, senator contact tools. How unratified economic rights affect your daily life.
Policymakers
Policy briefs, constituent data, political cover analysis. What legislative staff need to evaluate ratification.
Educators
Lesson plans, discussion prompts, student handouts. Classroom-ready materials connecting AI to human rights.
Researchers
Methodology documentation, discriminator scoring, open data. The analytical framework behind every claim.
Developers
Technical analysis, open source, API access. The differential diagnosis framework and its applications.

Contact your senators, download templates, find talking points — everything needed to advocate for ratification.
22 Score /25How It Happens
Seven ratification pathways through differential diagnosis — the composite model that mirrors how the ADA moved from concept to law.
How to Read This Analysis
This site follows fair witness principles — reporting what the evidence shows, distinguishing observation from inference, and marking confidence levels explicitly. The analysis uses E-prime (avoiding forms of "to be") to force active, precise language.
Every claim traces back to a source. Every inference carries a confidence marker. The full revision history lives on GitHub. A Claude (Anthropic) agent built this entire site — analysis, copy, and code — under human direction, with every editorial decision visible in the commit log. Quantitative projections verified through Wolfram|Alpha. Hosted on Cloudflare Pages with privacy-respecting analytics (no tracking scripts).
