The Honesty Framework
The most unusual thing about the Kronos record is what it refuses to hide.
Every Kronos surface carries its caveats with its claims: low-neutron is never called aneutronic; net burner power is labelled requirement-class; the machines are stated to be unbuilt; economics are kept off public technical pages. This is a deliberate framework, not a disclaimer bolted on at the end.
The bet is that in a field with a long history of over-promising, verifiable honesty is a competitive advantage with the serious audiences — national labs, technical investors, and reviewers.
Common questions
Because serious diligence finds the caveats anyway. Stating them first — requirement-class burner, named gates, low-neutron-not-aneutronic — turns candour into credibility with labs and technical investors.
No. The burner is low-neutron (5.44%), not aneutronic. Kronos is deliberate about that distinction on every relevant page.
