Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.

why aren't all 5 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable

Assertion Not checkable as stated
Climeworks faced premature filter failures during Mammoth's serial production
“The filter element, which is the one that experienced the most design change. We were, while we were testing the prototypes, we actually did see some failures that were earlier than we had expected. And that then comes that decision of, all right, we're also d…”

Disclosure
Climeworks kept hardware design in-house while EPC built the facility
“So what we did keep in-house was the design of the core hardware, so those collector units that you see, and then also for the process engineering nerds out there, so the core heat and material balance, the process flow diagram, and the process instrumentation…”

Assertion Not checkable as stated
Climeworks financed Mammoth on-balance-sheet and exceeded typical FID offtake volumes
“So, we still kept it on balance sheet, and actually by the time we did get it built and running, it being mammoth what your typical numbers you would expect for off-take contracts by FID, we'd, we'd well exceeded that.”

Disclosure
Climeworks deployed field reinforcements while simultaneously designing collector retrofit packages
“We decided to continue with the ones that were already there and essentially deploy a field patch or a field reinforcement to kind of strengthen the failure mode that we had seen, but then in parallel also work on an improved design as well. So that we could t…”

Assertion Supported
Climeworks scaled from eight collector containers at Orca to 72 at Mammoth
“So we're going from now eight collector containers to 72, and then within these containers there's filter elements, which went from hundreds to thousands.”
