That’s exactly the distinction SVITLO tries to make:
It doesn't claim to detect “confirmed brilliance” — only its early cognitive signals.
We’re not trying to guess who will become famous.
We’re looking for patterns in thinking — rare cognitive traits like:
connecting distant concepts,
reframing assumptions,
exploring without anchoring,
compressing complex ideas with clarity.
These are not “proofs” of genius — but signals often found in people whose ideas later change paradigms.
Einstein isn’t brilliant because the Eddington experiment confirmed him.
He’s brilliant because his thought experiments, reframings of space-time, and fearless simplicity were already cognitive anomalies.
SVITLO wants to notice those anomalies — before the Eddington moment.
