What gets published here

  1. A named public source. Every task links to the Instinct material or the public report it came from.
  2. The class is stated. Maker material is labelled an official example; someone else's public report is labelled a community report and is not treated as proof.
  3. No claimed results. Instinct Tasks has not reproduced these outcomes, and says so on every page rather than implying a test happened.
