The note is not the proof.
It can name something.
It can make a thought easier to inspect.
It can open a conversation.
It can point to a pattern.
But the proof is elsewhere.
What got built?
What changed?
What decision improved?
What conversation became clearer?
What did the system catch?
What did the work reveal?
That distinction matters.
Public notes can create trust only if they stay connected to evidence.
The note is a handle.
The proof is what survives contact with reality.
