 The `.compiled.mjs` modules are self-contained: zero runtime dependency on ata-validator, fully tree-shakeable, with TypeScript types emitted alongside.
 
+## Measured by others
+
+Two public harnesses run ata without ata's involvement. Quote these before anything in this
+file.

+- [schemabenchmarks.dev](https://schemabenchmarks.dev), a benchmark of runtime validation
+  libraries maintained outside this project. On its validation page, valid data, the run of
+  2026-09-13 against ata 1.14.1 puts ata first at 603 ns, with the next entry at 1.77 times
+  that. The same site puts ata last on the download page, at 64.9 KB gzipped, because the entry
+  it bundles is the runtime compiler; the module `ata build` emits for that schema is 3.9 KB
+  minified and gzipped, and a compiled entry for the harness is in preparation.
+- [Bowtie](https://bowtie.report/), the cross-implementation JSON Schema test harness. ata's
+  harness runs Draft 2020-12 and draft 7 there; on the harness at ata 1.16.1 the official suite
+  passes with nothing failed, errored or skipped under Bowtie's own runner. The v1 dialect is
+  declared in a pending harness change that waits for a Bowtie release.

 of magnitude rather than a constant.
