Object types

• Claim

  One cited fact — the atomic unit of the Impact Suite. Unifies the site's DataPoint and KeyMetric rows.

• Source

  A cited publication. The evidence behind claims.

• Policy

  A regulation being tracked on the AI Policy Tracker.

• Company

  A market actor (hyperscaler, lab, utility, startup…).

• Sector

  One of the 22 Impact Suite sectors (authoritative taxonomy from lib/data.ts).

• Jurisdiction

  A place with governing power. New as a first-class entity — the site previously used bare strings.

• CausalNode

  A node in a causal graph. Essay nodes use label and layer; power-map nodes also set kind and order.

• Perspective

  An investor thesis. Stance is a position (Bullish, Cautious, …), not a measured claim.

• Mechanism

  One causal edge on the data-center power map. whoWins, whoPays, and connectionType live here because the links API stores only endpoints.

• Observation

  One dated value of a claim. Claims keep history; the site previously stored only the latest snapshot.

Link types

• cited_by

  Claim, Perspective → Source

  The evidence. The densest relation in the graph — the trust model.

• about

  Claim, Perspective → Company, Sector, Jurisdiction, Policy

  What the claim or perspective describes.

• affects

  Policy → Sector

  Regulatory impact of a policy on a sector.

• drives

  CausalNode → CausalNode

  Causal edges of the AI-buildout graph.

• references

  Brief → Claim

  A real foreign key from a sector brief to a claim (replaces editorial convention). Brief type lands in a later schema version.

• has_observation

  Claim → Observation

  The value history of a claim.

• operates_in

  Company → Sector

  A company's primary sector(s) of operation in the AI economy.

• authored_by

  Perspective → Company

  The firm that wrote the thesis.

• starts_at

  Mechanism → CausalNode

  The power-map node a mechanism edge starts from.

• ends_at

  Mechanism → CausalNode

  The power-map node a mechanism edge ends at.

• evidenced_by

  Mechanism → Claim

  The sourced sentence for a mechanism. That claim still cites its sources.

Action types

• propose_claimqueue

  Every new claim needs a human. Nothing publishes unreviewed.

• refresh_claimqueue

  Value changes are reviewed; the old value survives as history.

• link_claimsauto

  Linking existing, reviewed objects needs no approval.

• flag_staleauto

  Surfaces in the approvals queue and the next briefing.

• propose_perspectivequeue

  A new thesis waits for a person. Nothing publishes unreviewed.

• refresh_perspectivequeue

  A stance change waits for a person.

• propose_mechanismqueue

  A new causal edge does not publish unreviewed.
