Fortune's headline has a 27-year-old refactoring 98% of Cisco's legacy code with unlimited AI tokens.
Fortune's own text makes 98% of Cisco's legacy code a 24-month goal with four weeks to prove it, and gives no size for the code.
Verdicts stay free for everyone. Members get the depth: the full check behind every ruling, the lines to use in a meeting, the calls we are tracking and the spin we keep finding.
For people whose boss, clients or team ask “is this AI thing real?” and who need an answer they can defend, with sources.

Counts from our published checks, not a score. Generated from the checked collection and archive; corrections are public on every story.
Every ruling links to its sources. Source links and corrections stay public whether or not you pay.
When we get something wrong, the correction is dated and kept on the story. See the verification record.
Rulings are categories with written definitions, not scores. Read how we check.
The latest edition has two designated public sample stories. Signing in with a free account opens its third designated story. These are selected stories, not a counter of whichever pages you open. Membership opens all full checked stories. Verdicts, summaries, source links and corrections remain public.

Yes. There is one introductory trial per customer. A returning member sees a separate restart button in their account, with A$89 due when checkout is completed and annual renewal afterwards. Following a trial link alone never starts a paid restart.
