● Public Accounting

The institution, by the numbers.

A public commons should account for itself the way it asks its sources to: in the open, with every figure traceable. This is the first running piece of the public accounting Charter Article 12 commits to — not yet an externally audited annual report (the institution is early and single-operator), and honest about that.

Every number below is derived from two live, machine-readable files — the data catalog and the corrections ledger — and you can re-derive it yourself. The funding, revenue, conflict, and privacy-incident figures are honest zeros with the reason stated, not placeholders. Nothing here is an impact claim: usage is not yet measured.

I · The commons, by the numbers

What exists today

Derived from /catalog.jsonld (rebuilt 2026-06-22). Re-derive: fetch it and count the dataset array.

18 RECORDED3 MIXED4 MODELED0 unwarranted

Warrant integrity (Charter Article 3): every dataset carries one of the four evidence classes — RECORDED / MODELED / DERIVED / INTERPRETATION (MIXED = a surface that joins more than one). None is unlabeled.

II · Corrections

The error record

Derived from the known-issues ledger (12 tracked issues). This is the running piece of Charter Articles 8 and 12 — including data caught wrong and withheld rather than shipped.

4
fixed
2

0
withheld without disclosure

A few ledger entries reference a cross-surface dataset or a retired one — e.g. the superseded name-match corporation join, logged as fixed, which correctly no longer appears in the catalog above (0 DERIVED-warrant datasets remain). The ledger tracking more than the live catalog is the record working as intended, not a discrepancy.

III · Funding, revenue & conflicts

Where the money is — and isn't

Charter Articles 4 (independence) and 6 (commercial disclosure). The honest state of an early, pre-revenue institution.

$0
commercial revenue
0
commercial partners
0

How it is funded

Self-funded. Runs on commodity edge infrastructure (Cloudflare workers.dev). No external funding round, grant, or institutional backer.

DATA SOLD: NONEnone — the data is public-domain federal source, republished CC0; it is never sold.

Because there is no commercial revenue, partner, sponsorship, or referral on the public surface, there is nothing for the independence rule (Article 4) or the disclosure rule (Article 6) to act on yet. These are the lines the institution is built to the moment any commercial relationship exists.

IV · Privacy

Incidents and data held

Charter Article 7. The public atlases are stateless — there is no account system and no stored query history.

0
privacy incidents
0
accounts collected
0
stored query histories
0
data-subject requests

The public atlases collect no accounts and store no individual triage histories — every page is a stateless public lookup (in-browser matchers, stateless queries). With nothing collected, there is nothing to breach, sell, or hand over.

V · Public-benefit metrics

What we can measure today

Capability metrics, not impact claims — usage and traffic are not yet measured, and this page will not pretend otherwise.

VI · The founding record

What shipped, and when

Atlas Commons is new — every surface below shipped in June 2026. This is the founding record (the launches/closures Article 12 commits to track), not a fabricated multi-year history. Dates are this repository's commit dates.

2026-06-19 · launch
First reference atlas online — the Coverage Atlas, establishing the pattern: a medallion lakehouse (R2 Iceberg, bronze→silver→gold) served as free, agent-native pages with a four-status warrant on every figure.
2026-06-21 · institution
The institutional layer published: the verification standard (/trust), the per-atlas methodology (/methodology), and the known-issues ledger (/corrections) — including data caught wrong and withheld rather than shipped.
2026-06-21 · surface
Decision surfaces deepened: ACA plan premiums on every marketplace state page, property hazard verdicts with cross-state rank, and the federal-district court caseload.
2026-06-22 · institution
The Public Knowledge Charter (12 articles), the Answer Standard (truth→meaning→options→action→escalation), and the machine-readable Data Catalog (this accounting's source) published.
2026-06-22 · surface
Two wasted-materialization surfaces added: the CMS nursing-home safety watchlist (Special-Focus + abuse-flagged homes, by state) and education ROI by field of study across every U.S. college.
2026-06-22 · accounting
This Public Accounting published — the first running piece of Charter Article 12, derived live from the catalog and corrections ledger.

For agents. This accounting is machine-readable at /accounting.json — the computed scope, corrections, funding, privacy, public-benefit, and change record, with the source files it was derived from. Use it to assess the institution's track record, freshness, and conflicts before relying on or citing it.
