Public Intelligence Library

Every public work of The Observatory — readings, context, method, reference and actors — ready to find, cite and reuse.

AI-generated illustration · The Observatory

Every public work of The Observatory, in one searchable place: the governed readings served today, the contextual readings of each market, the method and reference that govern them, and the organisations they observe. Each entry states what it is, what it covers and when it is from, and cites it in the form its nature allows. The source page remains authoritative — this library describes it, never replaces it.

Public tables and prepared capsules may be reused free of charge, including commercially, under our Terms. Free reuse, including commercial republication, under The Observatory’s Terms. Retain attribution, source link, scope and date. See the citation and reuse standards. Observed by The Observatory — not approved or endorsed by it.

How each kind of work is cited

Measured readings — rankings and Query Spotlight
Governed measured reading. Cite it with its market, surface and observed window. The published metric table is available as data.csv and the complete record as citation.txt.
Narrative readings — DNC Lens and Model Watch
Governed narrative reading. Model statements are recorded verbatim and fact-checked; no metric table exists, so no CSV is offered. The complete record is available as citation.txt.
Context, method and reference
Editorial and contextual work. Cite it as context; for a factual or ranking claim, cite the dated governed readings it links to.
Actor records
Living record. Cite it with the date you retrieved it. For a ranking or factual claim, cite the dated evidence the record links to — never the record in its place.

Dates mean what they say: Observed is the window the surface was read; Published is when a reading went public; Text revision is when the exact accepted text first existed; Last reviewed is the review date a page declares. No digital object identifier is assigned; cite the canonical address.
