How this publication works.
One reporter. A defined corpus. A tier discipline that grades every claim by the strength of the document standing behind it. A public vault where readers audit the work.
Source-tier discipline
Every claim on this site carries a tier. Tier 1 is primary documents: court filings, signed agreements, government records. Tier 2 is reporting and on-record statements. Tier 3 is commentary and uncorroborated claims, labeled as such. If a claim reaches a reader without a tier, that is a bug.
Primary documents. Court filings, signed agreements, government records.
Reporting and on-record statements.
Commentary and uncorroborated claims. Labeled as such.
The EFTA corpus
The work builds on the 2025 Department of Justice Epstein Files Transparency Act release. Documents in that release get EFTA identifiers of the form EFTA00000000, and every document referenced here links back to the original. Material outside the EFTA release (leaks, unverified correspondence, social media) is either out of scope or flagged as Tier 3.
The vault
The vault is the reporter's open notebook. Every entity profiled, every document indexed, every investigation thread, every tier-labeled finding is searchable. Records are imperfect by design. Stubs and broken links are part of the research process, not hidden from it.
What this publication is not
Not conspiracy theorizing. A name in a record is not a crime. Not moralizing. The material is already heavy; the reader supplies the weight. Not exhaustive. The EFTA release is still being processed, and gaps in the record are flagged as gaps.
