Kronos does not ask to be believed; it asks to be checked. The design points, the scans, the evaluators, and the verification logs are deposited so any reader can rerun the physics and land on the same numbers. The deposit is the difference between a claim and a result.
The reference phase deposits the design-point tables with every parameter basis-tagged, the operating-window and sensitivity scans, the verification checks, and the evaluator code itself. The breeder's frozen quantities each carry an evidence class — computed, derived, or retrieved. Nothing load-bearing exists only as an assertion.
Openly deposited data and code are what make 'check us' more than a slogan. A reviewer with the deposit can reproduce the design point, test the sensitivities, and audit the corrections — which is the strongest guarantee a design study can offer, and the one Kronos builds its identity on.
| Deposited | design points, scans, evaluators, checks |
| Parameters | basis-tagged |
| Frozen values | carry an evidence class |
| Reproducible | rerun -> same numbers |
| Identity | check us, don't trust us |
