The Record
One store over the whole apparatus — 1,238 entities, 1,782 claims, every one with its receipts and its gaps. Trace any two names. Attack any record.

What this is
A docket, not a dashboard. The unit is the claim with receipts; the verb is challenge it. Every screen can lose an argument: an edge that carries no relation type says untyped, a career step with no recorded date says no date, and two people the data cannot connect return no documented route rather than an invented one.
The Gap Ledger is computed at build time from the data itself, never written by hand. It is the most useful page here. If it is ever empty, the audit is broken — not the dataset perfect.
What it will not do
There is no timeline. Zero of 1,243 edges carry a date and only 931 of 1,921 career hops do. A timeline would require interpolating the rest, so the app refuses to draw one. Career order is real and is shown; dates appear only where a source recorded one.
Play tags are shown as annotations. A play is a recurring career-rotation pattern; the
vocabulary is defined in
PLAYS.md. It was audited
on 2026-08-02, when backstop (defense official -> contractor board -> defense) was found
on 23 carriers whose own role strings showed no contractor leg at all. The vocabulary was
corrected and two missing plays were minted: bar, the legal revolver (senior DOJ ->
large-firm partnership -> senior DOJ), and ward, the medical one (health regulator ->
industry -> regulator). The audit that caught it is published in the ledger.
Co-affiliation is not coordination. Every route and every shared institution here is a documented fact about who held which post. None of it asserts that anyone directed anything.
