Accountability

Every number, sourced.

A site arguing for accountability should hold itself to the same standard. This page is generated directly from the registry we keep in our own repository — nothing here is hand-copied, so it can't drift from what the code actually says.

Fact registry

Every number published on the site lives here: claim → source → date checked. Policy (from the 2026-08-29 adversarial review):

  • A citation must appear adjacent to its claim in the markup. A number without a link does not ship.
  • Recheck every fact within 6 months of "last checked" or remove it.
  • A fact found wrong, materially superseded, or source-dead is corrected or removed within 48 hours of discovery.
