**2017**

- [2959730-031](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2959730-031) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Manual per transaction fee calculation and settlement is prone to human error, and these errors are removed through the use of blockchain technology.
  > While normally the use of this type of fee is prone to human errors that occur during manual calculation or settlement, these errors are removed through the use of blockchain technology

**2018**

- [3128900-007](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-007) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Human shortcomings in micro task work such as limited attention span, irrationality, and inaccuracy create a need for verification, but manual verification fails as a remedy because the verifiers are subject to the same human limitations.
  > All too human shortcomings of micro task works, such as limited attention span, irrationality, and inaccuracies result in verification requirements for micro task work. However, manual verification of micro task work is subject to the same human limitations.

**2019**

- [3411110-011](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3411110-011) [mechanism/asserted] -- Blockchain removes the class of costs generated by human error in record keeping, because it eliminates the possibility that transactions are misreported in ways that cause irreparable harm.
  > Blockchain technology allows corporations to eliminate costs associated with human errors in record keeping. Blockchain eliminates the possibility of transactions being misreported due to human error that can cause irreparable harm.

**2024**

- [4734750-033](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4734750-033) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Human limitations such as limited attention span, irrationality, and inaccuracy force verification of micro task work, but manual verification does not solve the problem because verifiers are subject to the same human limitations.
  > However, manual verification of micro task work is subject to the same human limitations.

- [4755632-010](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4755632-010) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Human shortcomings in micro task work such as limited attention span, irrationality, and inaccuracy create verification requirements, but manual verification is performed by humans subject to the same limitations, so verification does not resolve the quality problem it is meant to solve.
  > However, manual verification of micro task work is subject to the same human limitations.

**2025**

- [5245185-035](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5245185-035) [design/argued] -- Smart contract governance reduces the potential for human error and guarantees consistent application of governance protocols, features often lacking in purely AI driven supervision, although consensus delays may occur.
