# Theorem dependency and correction alerts

Edition: 8 October 2026. Initial decision: **Prototype now**. The product interpretation and pricing are hypotheses; independent proof and buyer validation remain open.

## Research finding

The 7 October history records a sign error that invalidated one manuscript and two dependent papers. Other corrections changed hypotheses and companion citations. The release preserves prior versions, enabling a concrete regression fixture for dependency tracking.

## Problem and buyer

Research teams and engineering teams adopting new algorithms need to know whether a correction invalidates a result they rely on. A changed PDF filename or bibliographic citation does not explain the affected assumptions or downstream implementation.

## What the finding could enable

A monitored dependency graph can show the path from a changed lemma to a manuscript claim and then to a software component or experiment. It enables scoped review tasks and correction alerts tied to actual use rather than a generic news feed.

## Technical and commercial limits

A citation is not always a logical dependency. Automated extraction must label inferred edges and allow human confirmation. The actual three withdrawn manuscripts require explicit withdrawal fixtures; family membership alone must not imply invalidity of unrelated papers.

## Minimal architecture

Revision watcher -> citation and theorem-link parser -> dependency graph -> change classification -> affected-component report. Store graph edges with evidence spans, revision hashes and reviewed status. Keep historical snapshots instead of replacing the source record.

## Existing alternatives and differentiation

Crossmark already distributes correction and retraction metadata. The proposed differentiation is theorem-level impact across Git repositories and software usage; bibliographic status alerts by themselves are weak differentiation.

## Monetization hypothesis

Hypothesis: AUD 200-1,000 monthly for a research team and AUD 5,000-20,000 annually for an institutional integration. Buyers and budgets remain unvalidated. An audit service around one dependency-heavy project is the narrow entry point.

## Validation experiment

Use the repository's withdrawal history as a retrospective fixture. Recover the three stated withdrawals and their stated dependency relation without flagging every paper in the same field. Have a mathematician review ambiguous edges.

## Conditions to reject or defer

Reject a general subscription if alerts are too noisy, logical edges cannot be reviewed economically, or free correction metadata meets the user's needs.

## Next concrete action

Extract the withdrawn manuscript notices and their archived-version links, then build an explicit three-paper fixture and a dependency impact report.
