Network & data
Give network scale, service capabilities and activity their own clear definitions.
01
Three different kinds of information
A capability directory describes roles, methods and modules. Operational data describes observed activity. Node and token rules describe participation. These should not be blended into one growth counter.
02
Display states with evidence
The current platform overview distinguishes catalog counts, verified metrics and unavailable values. Missing sources remain missing; maintained source-site baselines and browser animation are not live network activity.
03
Read the source and timestamp
Evaluate a metric with its definition, coverage, time and update method. Future data integrations should keep original facts distinguishable from editorial presentation.
