Purpose
The source repository is for public evidence only. It makes dossiers fast to verify, easy to cite and harder to discredit. Protected evidence belongs in a separate confidential/legal route.
Public source categories
| Category | What belongs here | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Court / constitutional | court filings, rulings, constitutional articles, procedural rules | legal templates and deadline arguments |
| Budgets / audits | budget lines, audit reports, OIG reports, public procurement data | prove means, priorities, diversion risk or neglect |
| Contracts / agreements | mining contracts, strategic agreements, SOFA clauses, annexes | show asymmetry, immunity, dependency or missing safeguards |
| Human-rights reports | UN, AU, NGO, commission reports, detention records | civilian protection and rights-risk analysis |
| Public statements | speeches, interviews, parliamentary debates, official communiqués | show admissions, intent, warnings, contradiction or policy line |
| Media and videos | documentaries, official channels, interviews, archived clips | support chronology and public admission only when source/date/context are clear |
| Academic sources | peer-reviewed papers, books, dissertations, institutional reports | method, historical patterns and risk-model grounding |
Source quality rule
Every source should have: URL, title, publisher, date, archive link if possible, relevance note, evidence-use note, uncertainty and correction status. A video can support an admission only when the speaker, date, source channel and exact statement are clear.
