FM-001Founding MilestonePublished
Before FCIF Had a Name
The founder of this project is Stuart Kegel. This is his account of how the Faultline Observatory came into existence — before it had a name, a methodology, or a structure. Written to preserve the origin conditions of the project: the working method, the sequence of discovery, and the nature of the human–AI collaboration that produced it. Recorded as institutional memory, not as promotion.
EN-001Evidence NotePublished
Evidence Register v1
A record of the Observatory's evidence classification framework as applied across The Frontier Record corpus. Documents the four evidence weight categories — Primary, Secondary, Contested, and Counter — their definitions, and the governance rules that govern their assignment. Published as institutional record so that the evidentiary standard is transparent and externally verifiable.

Intended Audience Hypothesis
The Observatory's current best hypothesis about who it is for, who actually arrives, and who eventually becomes a regular reader. These are not assumed to be identical. Recorded not because the hypothesis is proven, but because it is the best current explanation for why the architecture feels coherent. Subject to revision as the corpus and readership develop.
