How to use this

The public research surface is designed to support several reading paths.

Reports

Read entity-level summaries and supporting context.

Agency, office, and people reports provide the broadest view. Use timelines and compare windows where available to narrow the scope.

Tags

Follow a theme across multiple linked events.

Tags group related public events under a common topic and provide a thematic way to move between records.

Events and sources

Move from summary pages into the evidence trail.

Public event pages show related sources, tags, and linked public entities. Public source pages show which events reference a source and how that evidence is used.

Share and print

Preserve views for readers and collaborators.

Public reports, events, sources, tags, and indexes support share links, lightweight exports, and print views where available.

Methodology and limitations

What this public surface includes and what it leaves out.

Watchdog’s public site is a read-only view of records that have already been prepared and published for external readers.

Reports, events, sources, and tags are meant to be read together: reports summarize, events describe specific records, and sources show the visible support behind those records.

Internal workflow controls, unpublished review context, and operator activity are intentionally excluded.

These context pages are meant to clarify scope, interpretation, and limits before a public page is shared or cited.
