Evidence, not adjectives.

Every claim is backed by working code, measured benchmarks, and where appropriate cryptographically auditable reduction-to-practice. Five technical reports below — one preparing arXiv submission. Source on github.com/thornveil-ai.

What's actually defensible.

Each Thornveil system carries one or more subsystems where the engineering work materially differentiates it from open-source alternatives. Named subsystem, the differentiator, and the empirical evidence behind each.
