Why I called it

340% year-on-year growth in attacks, no architectural fix, and shipping into production anyway. This is arithmetic rather than prophecy. The uncertainty is disclosure, not occurrence. It will happen; the question is whether anyone says so out loud.

What countsCorrect if a company above $1B revenue, or a government agency, publicly names or agent compromise as a root cause of a breach, and at least one credible outlet covers it.
What I based it on

The call, in full. A major publicly-disclosed enterprise security incident occurs with prompt injection or agent compromise as a named root cause.

Scoring criterion. RESOLVES CORRECT if a company with >$1B revenue, or a government agency, publicly discloses a breach naming prompt injection or autonomous-agent compromise as a root cause, covered by at least one tier-B outlet.

The criterion is the machine-checkable version: a prediction that cannot be settled by a third party against a public source fails the build before it reaches this page.
