The Hysteresis Built a Proof Ladder and Never Put Coreshell on It
Eight issues in, The Hysteresis has built the sharpest instrument in Anchor's portfolio: a method for grading whether a battery supplier's compliance claims rest on paperwork or on hope. It has never been aimed at Coreshell. One hundred articles, and the customer's name shows up once, in a subordinate clause, never inside an evaluation. Coreshell has spent that period publicly claiming a "fully domestic" platform, which is precisely the claim class the instrument was built to grade. Verdict: easily replaceable today. One configuration setting explains it.

The Lever
Send Coreshell an email this week. Nothing gets built until they answer.
Coreshell's defense page claims it is "NDAA Section 842-compliant" — shorthand for a 2025 US law barring the Pentagon, from January 2028, from buying battery cells unless final assembly happens outside China and other covered nations, more than 95% of the cell's component cost originates outside them, and no core technology is licensed from them. The Hysteresis already reported that the government never published how to compute that 95%. Coreshell is asserting compliance with arithmetic that does not publicly exist.
Ask permission to run that one claim through The Hysteresis's own proof ladder, then hand back a boundary map: which rungs the public record supports, which need evidence only Coreshell holds, and who inside Coreshell owns each empty slot.
Yes means build the maintained ledger. No means build the public registry. We cannot see whether anyone there reads this publication; the reply would be the first direct evidence either way.
