What the support funds.

Contributions support active Rubian and Kestowv engineering, benchmark machines, measurement, qualification runs, documentation, and the publication of evidence with its limitations intact.

Support pays for engineering and testing. It can’t predetermine the result. Every sponsored test starts with a defined question, method, and standard for evidence.

Rubian and Kestowv are running today. Project Valux is the temporary codename for the broader operating-system project.
