Recorded claims

Each claim states what the inspected source says, at the recorded location—bounded by its scope and graded by its confidence. Nothing here is a synthesis across works.

For the synchronized May 2023 monetization ban on major Japanese creator platforms, the abstract reports a 64.7% decline in paid-AI supply in a reconstructed treated population of 5,344 creators drawn from an independent corpus of 16.3 million works, with the still-permissive free pixiv gallery supplying the comparison arm.

Scope: treated creator population and platform-governance shock described in the abstract

Boundaries

Limitations & independence

Recorded at coding time, carried with the work forever. A claim without its limits is not evidence.

Recorded limitations

  • Abstract-level evidence only; full text, corpus construction, and causal-design implementation were not independently inspected.
  • The reported estimate is attributed to the abstract and is not an independent replication by this lane.
