Map wide, verify deep
The map can include broad facility leads, but claims about NDAs, funding, water, and power require attached evidence.
How records are handled
Methodology
The tracker is built to show where public attention is needed while keeping evidence labels honest. A location lead is not the same thing as a verified claim about secrecy, subsidies, water, or power.
Separate location confidence from evidence confidence
A facility can be a good map lead while still lacking verified public-money, water, power, or NDA records.
Keep proposal records visible
Proposed and contested sites are tracked early because public decisions often happen before official project names are disclosed.
Moderate community reports
Public FOIA reports are useful signals, but they remain community-reported until a moderator verifies the request record.
1. Ingest Sources
Import public datasets, operator pages, facility directories, local reporting, public agendas, utility filings, and manually curated records.
2. Place Records Responsibly
Facility-level coordinates are preferred. City-level matches stay labeled as approximate leads until stronger location evidence is attached.
3. Backfill Evidence
NDA, public money, water, and power fields are marked verified, lead found, needs FOIA request, needs manual review, or unavailable depending on the source trail.
4. Publish With Labels
Public pages expose source-linked claims, confidence labels, and review status. Internal batch files, seed SQL, credentials, and private reviewer context are not public website content.
