READER WORKSPACE
Account
There is no public account system yet. This page states what is already public and what a future workspace could handle.
Readable without login
Public pages stay public
Future tools stay simple
Current Public Model
What Exists Right Now
This page starts with the public tools already available instead of advertising an account system that does not exist.
Current 02
Clear Boundary
Sign-in is used only for internal review and editorial tools. Public access is not being pushed into an unfinished login wall.
Current 03
Public Transparency
Methodology notes, source links, and page labels already live on the public site.
Preference Model
If Accounts Arrive
If reader accounts are added later, they should focus on useful reading tools, saved research, and careful alerts.
ACCOUNT 01
Settings
The first settings layer should focus on accessibility and reading comfort: motion reduction, contrast shifts, type scale, and dense-versus-editorial data views.
ACCOUNT 02
Saved Research
Saved pages, tracked investigations, bookmarked filings, and export presets are the most useful things an account could remember without turning the site into a generic dashboard.
ACCOUNT 03
Alerts
Alerts should stay narrow and deliberate: new publications, dataset refreshes, or major public-interest updates, not a noisy social feed.
ACCOUNT 04
Logout
If sign-in is added later, logging out should be simple, clear, and leave no reader data lingering in the browser.
Possible Reader Tools
Future Controls
Saved investigation pages, bookmarked filings, and research watchlists.
Notification controls for publication updates rather than a noisy inbox model.
Reading preferences like contrast, density, motion reduction, and type scale.
Export defaults and saved briefings once a public identity layer exists. Review baseline: March 31, 2026.
