**2017**

- [2992962-037](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2992962-037) [design/argued] -- In contrast with OpenBazaar, the authors' proposed open source ecosystem allows dispute resolution only if and when a smart contract has actually resulted in a dispute, which keeps smart contracting transaction costs near zero.
  > In contrast with the OpenBazaar solutions, our proposed open source ecosystem allows dispute resolution only if and when a smart contract has resulted in a dispute.

**2019**

- [3411897-007](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3411897-007) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- eBay's user rating system, despite being its biggest competitive advantage, is clearly flawed, and the persistence of those flaws demonstrates the unmet need for a decentralized reputation verification system, since no better technology has yet been produced.
  > While the user ratings eBay uses clearly have flaws (that illustrate the need for a decentralized reputation verification system – discussed in Chapter 6), so far, nobody has been able to come up with a better technology.

**2024**

- [4685567-010](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4685567-010) [condition/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Credential tracking is a necessary condition for Impact 3.0: any Impact 3.0 platform built without WEB3 credential tracking systems will encounter significant disruption over time, as foreshadowed by the failure to enforce and monitor net zero commitments in Impact 1.0.
  > Any Impact 3.0 platform without WEB3 credential tracking systems is bound to encounter significant disruption over time.

- [4755632-013](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4755632-013) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Because unmanaged centralized micro task platforms do not supply the consumer interfaces needed to accomplish specific tasks, requesters must either build their own tools or pay large fees to startups, and both necessary options result in underutilization of resources.
  > because unmanaged centralized micro task platforms do not supply consumer interfaces needed to accomplish specific tasks, requesters of micro task work are forced to either build their own tools or pay large fees to startups

- [4755632-037](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4755632-037) [mechanism/asserted] -- The reputation score mechanism helps discern malicious actors from simple mistakes and protects workers and verifiers from fraudulent requesters and suboptimally designed requests, so reputation serves as a bidirectional screening device rather than only a worker rating.
  > The reputation score mechanism helps discern malicious actors and simple mistakes. It also protects workers and verifiers from fraudulent requesters and suboptimally designed requests.
