How we work
Sources first
Every claim carries its source; uncertainty is stated, not hidden.
With communities
Communities are partners and co-authors of their own story, never just subjects.
Consent & privacy
Personal data and testimony are handled only with explicit, informed consent.
Open by default
Methods, corrections and results are published wherever privacy allows.
