  "subtitle": "Getting a verified game in front of players, and taking it down again",
  "abstract": "Research says what to build, two studios build it and Sealed Jars proves it does what it claims. None of that matters until a player can open the game. This session covers the last mile: what EverPool is, what it receives when a build is handed over, how a verified build becomes a released game, what happens when a problem turns up after release, and where the platform sits in a chain that runs from market research to the conference you are attending.",
  "summary": "The session argues that EverPool is the final link between verification and real-player experience, turning a verified build into actionable, aggregate evidence that informs the studios’ next plans. It outlines a strict flow: arrival checks confirm identity and fingerprint, acceptance followed by staging, and a gated release with a controlled rollout for new titles, plus immediate withdrawal or re-verification if problems arise. Updates, returns, and withdrawals all follow the same verified‑build pathway, and distribution bears clear responsibilities—such as an entertainment-only disclosure, a daily play‑credit cap, and maintaining a server audit trail—so results are checkable after the fact. EverPool measures aggregate payback, hit rates, library usage, and multiplayer uptake to provide evidence to studios; experiments and custom instances are treated like any other game and must be verified before play, with prototypes marked as experiments. There are no stated disagreements or open questions in the material; the session presents a closed-loop process from verification to evidence back to planning.",
