Evidence, and its limits
We label every claim by how well it is supported, so a reader can tell what has been shown from what is still a plan.

What the record shows, and what it does not
It shows
- The model was run at real scale, with community-financed assets and hire-purchase ownership.
- Operators repaid and investors were paid, according to DTON’s records.
It does not show
- That the model will work in another country, under another regulator, with electric vehicles, or at larger scale.
- That the four-system architecture performs as designed. That needs technical and independent validation.
An independent retrospective review of the DTS record is the first thing the Foundation Readiness Program funds.
