What we publish

We work inside a small set of repeatable formats so you always know where you are.

• Case File
  • Tight investigation of a single event, claim, or incident
  • Includes timeline, source table, contradictions map, and a short What If section inside the post
• Dossier
  •  A living briefing that maps a complex topic, person, or place with sources, timelines, and competing theories
  • Ends with a What If section inside the post to test scenarios
• Deep Think
  • Long form arguments and thought experiments
  • Uses models, diagrams, and opposing views
  • May include a What If section to probe edge cases
• Signal Check
  • Fast updates on notable news stories and/or cultural chatter
  • Clear links to sources
• Speculative
  • Short reads from fringe culture and emerging lore
  • Labeled clearly with source type and reliability notes

Note: What If is not a pillar. It is a short scenario section that appears inside Case Files, Dossiers, and Deep Thinks.

Labels you will see

• Facts: directly supported by the source list
• Inference: reasoned steps that follow from facts
• Speculation: ideas that need new data or tests

We also use quick status tags such as Tracking, Resolved, and Needs Data.

Tags and navigation

We keep tags simple so browsing is fast. Examples

Use the tag pages to hop across pillars on the same theme. Case Files and Dossiers always link to related posts so you can follow a thread end to end.

• Case Files and Dossiers arrive when research clears our bar
• Deep Thinks publish on a slower cadence with higher depth
• The Portal Report goes out weekly and recaps what moved

• Curiosity first
• Clarity over heat
• Facts, inference, and speculation are labeled
