Breckinmoor is a research and monitoring practice dedicated to platform reliability. We document the outages, retracted features, and quietly abandoned roadmaps of the firms that told you they were too big to fail.
A reading of the public record, kept honest. Updated continuously; never quite reassuring.

Three disciplines, applied without favour to the largest firms in the technology trade.
Continuous observation of stated versus observed uptime across the platforms that shape public discourse. We measure what they measure, and what they do not.
A quarterly comparison of press releases to public roadmaps to postmortems to shipped code. The gap between the four is, in our experience, the actual product.
When a platform says one thing and does another, we say so in writing, with receipts, and we keep the file open until the matter is reconciled or quietly buried.
“The platforms have grown too large to fail at the user experience, and too public to fail at the press release. We are the small, dull instrument that sits between the two.”
