This page explains how the public site works: what gets published, how to read the page labels, what privacy promises are in place, and why the Secure Drop page is visible but not open for public submissions yet.
This is the public explanation of how the site behaves. It should read like a clear standards page for readers and sources, not like a software deployment checklist.
Every investigation page says what is actually published, what is still being built, and which sources are attached. The point is to help readers tell the difference between a live finding and a reporting thread that is still being built.
The public Secure Drop page is visible, but public submission intake is still paused. The site does not invite sensitive material until the handling model is strong enough to protect people who might use it.
No analytics or third-party trackers are bundled into the public site. Readers should be able to read without silently becoming another data stream.
When a figure changes or a page moves from background reporting to a live finding, the public site says so plainly. This page describes how updates happen instead of hiding them in the background.
Public pages are readable without an account or paywall. If identity features arrive later, they should exist to help readers track investigations and exports, not to gate basic access to the reporting.
Methodology belongs on the public site. Source links, page labels, and publication rules stay visible so readers can see how an investigation was built and what still needs proof.
Protected editorial workflows exist, but they are not the public site. Readers only see what serves the reporting, the methods, and the source-protection rules that actually matter to them.
This page explains the site as a public records publication that distinguishes between sourced findings, active reporting, and future work without pretending all three are the same thing.
Readers should be able to tell what kind of publication this is without guessing. These counts show how much of the site is live benchmarking work and how much is active investigation.
Low Wages and Housing Crisis currently publish the clearest live benchmark sets, with current official figures and source links attached on the page.
Political Money, Political Grift, War Money, Corporate Welfare, Food & Scarcity, Green Money, Blocked Alternatives, Broken Healthcare, Pet Food Safety, Food Chemicals, Ultra-Processed Food, Insect Collapse, Corporate Capture, Restaurant Takeover, Truth & Lies, Mind Control, News Suppression, and Media Ownership are active investigations with live numbers, source stacks, or both.
Taken together, the site now has a twenty-page investigations section instead of a handful of isolated pages.
The next improvements should make the public site more useful and more trustworthy at the same time: clearer source tables, better correction notes, stronger source-submission protection, and downloadable records packets for readers.
This operations page reflects the public site as of March 31, 2026: a records-first investigations section, visible methods, clear publishing labels, and a Secure Drop page that stays paused until the protection model is ready.
