Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Too early to adopt

Why
Well-funded and hitting component milestones, but pre-net-gain, pre-power-plant, with bold cost/gain claims that are not yet independently demonstrated.
Next
Re-evaluate after the first full-scale DS pulser module result and demo-facility construction progress; the 2030 net-facility-gain milestone is the real proof point.
