The Record BelowThe record first. Then what I think.
Evidence records on contested public questions

The record first. Then what I think.

Most arguments happen without the record. This publication builds the record, then argues.

Part one

The record

Everything that can be established about a contested question, with each statement traced to its source and tagged for what kind of source that is. Sworn testimony is marked differently from a party's assertion, which is marked differently from a news report. Every source is listed and graded, including the ones that could not be retrieved. Where the record does not answer a question, it says so instead of filling the gap.

Part two, and it is opinion

The assessment

It comes after the record, it is labeled, and it introduces no facts that are not in the record above it. It states plainly what evidence would change its mind. You can delete it and the record is still complete.

Records

A record about a private individual is always published unmonetized.

Auditable, not unbiased

The claim is narrower and checkable: the work is auditable. Every source is listed with a reliability grade. Every gap is named. Every correction is permanent and timestamped. The queue of what is coming is published before the answers are known. Judge it by whether the sources hold up, not by whether you like the conclusion.
