Investigative protocol

Evidence before
interpretation.

Every case passes through five distinct stages. Publication requires human editorial approval.

  1. 01

    Research

    Collect a sourced factual record, chronology, named actors, primary documents, credible reporting, and known gaps.

  2. 02

    Investigation

    Test competing explanations, identify turning points, challenge common narratives, and state what remains unknown.

  3. 03

    Evidence analysis

    Separate verified facts, supported conclusions, likely explanations, myths and misconceptions, and open questions.

  4. 04

    Writing

    Build the narrative from the evidence without collapsing uncertainty into certainty or inventing connective facts.

  5. 05

    Editorial review

    Inspect the complete case, citations, evidence ledger, FAQ, and public artifacts. Nothing becomes public without explicit approval.

Corrections and reopening

Corrections are recorded in revision history. A closed or unresolved case may be reopened when new evidence materially changes the findings or fills a consequential gap.
