Description

This module groups the fruitfulness, deception, best/worst technology, and virtue-breakdown charts into one evidence family.

Methodology

Each technology is scored across nine virtue categories plus a deception score. Rolling averages show the shift in the moral profile of widely adopted technologies over time.

Data

All chart files for this module are local to this research folder.

Limitations

Virtue scoring is interpretive. It should be treated as a structured moral audit, not a mechanical measurement of souls or outcomes.
