From the record

Full claim
The author restated the thesis on 2026-10-25: small models need external knowledge; the project learned that and built a harness around a small model's real capabilities, tuned for the app user's experience (health gate, QuickMath, pack search and delivery, the Succinct persona, a fixed check-the-source line, refusal behaviour). It replaces the 2026-10-23 sentence "right whenever the content is in a pack" as the thesis statement; the conditional closing-test numbers are its evidence and its limits
Value
thesis statement (author, 2026-10-25)
Caveat
who: author; a framing statement, not a measurement. Evidence: with the matching pack the 1.7B is right on 48 % vs 26 % of pack-written self-tests; 65 % when the item's own article reaches the model vs 28 %. Limits: the article is delivered on 54 %; no pack reached the 0.75 bar; no gain on real development items. Never "the harness makes it half as good".
