The Sky Valley case.

PCBs are persistent, fat-soluble industrial chemicals — and established neurotoxicants. Chronic exposure disrupts thyroid-hormone signaling (which the brain depends on), interferes with dopamine systems, and dysregulates calcium-dependent signaling inside neurons. Those mechanisms map onto the deficits the teachers reported: memory, learning, attention, and executive function.

Because PCBs accumulate in fatty tissue and clear over years, exposure inside a building is cumulative — the dose builds with every year in the room.

Every claim in the garden is rated by evidence tier — regulatory bodies (IARC, ATSDR, EPA) first, then systematic reviews, then individual peer-reviewed studies. Nothing is asserted without its sources attached, so a claim can be taken straight into a Daubert analysis.

The AI workspace reads only from that curated evidence. Ask it for the theory of harm or the Daubert posture and it answers from the record, with citations — and tells you plainly where the evidence is thin.

Behind the public summary sits the complete case file — 1,959 documents: depositions, expert reports, exhibits, motions, and correspondence. Because it also holds protected medical records, it is gated: authorized counsel and retained experts sign in to read it; everyone else sees the de-identified summary.
