Nobody hid the black lung rule. On its last day, five comments had been filed. That gap is what everything we are building is for.
Today is the last day to comment on a Labor Department rule deciding how much coal companies that insure themselves must set aside so miners with black lung still get paid if the company fails. The last time that money ran short, three bankruptcies left an estimated $865 million with a public trust fund. The rule has been public for sixty days. By Monday morning, five comments had been filed. The problem was never secrecy; it was delivery. This is a plain-English tour of how a small studio is building against that gap: a public record that carries its receipts, two AI models that only agree when they sign the same text, the shared plumbing that ties them together, and Cairn, a membership built to be audited that is close to welcoming its first members. Getting in will take a test. The goal it is setting out loud: ten million jobs in ten years, counted in public. Also: what is not finished, and what nothing measures yet.
