* THE HONESTY BOX
thin file means exactly that: task-level research on this field is patchier than for others we cover. we could have padded this slip to look complete. we didn't. 2 tasks are unlisted: no source, no guess. every printed line is sourced; where studies disagree, we print both. nobody can promise outcomes; anyone who does is selling something.
Task-level AI evidence on this page is largely US-scoped research; local pay and market context differ.
