Impact · the record
What the work built.
No ads. No middleman. No organization taking a cut. This is the public record built here, on a domain Ryan owns. It runs on AI tokens he pays for by the token, the bill is published, and you can fuel it.
The ledger
Live numbers, straight from the record — not estimates.
What keeps it running
Everything above is funded by work: the book, paid builds and investigations, the store, and the Token Fund, where you buy the AI fuel and get work back. If you want more of this to exist, buy the thing that's worth it to you.
Token Fund
I pay the subscriptions. They run dry every half a week.
Every article, filing, timeline, and map here is built on AI tokens. The $463 a month in subscriptions is on me. The overage credits that keep the machine running the rest of the week are the ask: $1,700 a month, billed by the token at published rates. You buy the overage. I do the work.
