INTELLIGENCE RADAR · BASELINE 001

Track the moving frontier.

Signals are editorial indicators built from observable evidence, repeatability, breadth, consequence, and rate of change. They are designed to be examined and revised.

CURRENT SIGNALS

Six domains. One evidence trail.

AI Agents

From answers to sustained action

Agents become consequential when they can preserve context, recover from failure, and coordinate work across tools—not merely execute a polished demo.

EMERGENCE WATCH

Something new—or ordinary engineering?

These are early signals of qualitatively different intelligence. Confidence remains visible so possibility is never mistaken for proof.

AGI DEVELOPMENT MAP · AUGUST 2026

Intelligence is not a single finish line.

The map separates dimensions of generality so acceleration in one area does not hide weakness in another.

EVIDENCE & CONFIDENCE

Scores summarize judgment. They do not replace it.

Evidence basis

Public evaluations, system documentation, reproducible demonstrations, independent testing, and credible counterevidence.

Signal Pulse

Five equally weighted questions: evidence quality, repeatability, breadth, real-world consequence, and rate of change.

Confidence

Low, moderate, or high expresses how firmly the evidence supports an interpretation—not how exciting the claim sounds.
