About

Methodology before narrative.

OpenNodeExpedition is being shaped as a research hub, archive, and visual intelligence map. The public site keeps citation discipline, publication state, and source boundaries visible before publishing research claims.

Verified research

A claim must have source records, citations, verification status, credibility tier, and confidence notes before it is treated as verified research.

Analysis

Analysis is interpretation built on cited material. It should stay distinguishable from the underlying source record.

Research leads

A research lead is source-pending work queued for review. It should not imply confirmation, deployment, affiliation, or a verified event.

Placeholders

A placeholder is only an organizing record. It carries no factual assertion until source and citation work is complete.

Current boundary

Static-first by design.

The archive currently uses JSON and TypeScript only. Supabase, internal note storage, environment variables, and live research workflows remain intentionally deferred until the data model and publication process are ready.
