How we work

Methodology

Every sentence we publish leads back to an official document, the exact passage and the version we read.

01 · FIND

Locate the official source

Before we gather anything at all, we record where it comes from, how it is reached, how often it changes and what that source does not cover.

02 · PRESERVE

Store the version by content

The raw file receives a SHA-256 fingerprint and an immutable key. One copy never overwrites another.

03 · LINK

Tie facts to passages

Dates, actors and statements keep their link to the document that supports them.

04 · PUBLISH

Show the passage before making a claim

Every published statement has to lead back to the exact passage behind it. If we cannot show you that passage, the sentence does not go on the site.

THE METHOD ON ONE DOCUMENT

Follow one document through the four steps

The four steps above describe what we do. This is a document that is actually in the archive, going through them. Every value in this section comes from the published archive, not from hand-written text.

34 documents preserved across 11 published dossiers.
