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.
