One-sentence brief
Search snippets, social previews, first interactions, sharing, saved state, and return prompts can either teach uncertainty or reward certainty and outrage.
WORLD EVENT LITERACY
A public-interest user journey that builds trust and comprehension instead of maximizing frictionless engagement.
ORIENTATION
Search snippets, social previews, first interactions, sharing, saved state, and return prompts can either teach uncertainty or reward certainty and outrage.
WORKING BRIEF
Use precise titles and descriptions that state the question, evidence status, and educational purpose. Do not borrow government branding or imply institutional sponsorship.
Explain what the site can and cannot establish, how sources are handled, and how corrections work. Keep official-looking design separate from false authority.
Start with a bounded choice such as comparing sources or identifying uncertainty, not an open prediction market or high-stakes simulation. Show why the answer is provisional.
Give feedback about reasoning, evidence diversity, or uncertainty rather than ranking the user as intelligent, patriotic, or trustworthy.
Share stable summaries with sources, uncertainty, date, and a deep link. Strip sensitive rationales, precise locations, identities, and unreviewed free text.
Use first-party, privacy-preserving state and event-based reminders. A return prompt should identify changed evidence or a resolved question, not exploit anxiety or social pressure.
COMPLETE DOSSIER
Terms are defined for this site’s evidence method, not as universal legal or clinical definitions.
Can each consequential statement be traced to a dated source or clearly labeled interpretation?
Pass condition: Claims, interpretations, and unresolved gaps are visibly separated.
Does the presentation preserve dignity, agency, privacy, and the difference between institutions and populations?
Pass condition: People are not reduced to risk scores, spectacle, or aggregate stereotypes.
Can a changed source or finding be propagated to every derivative route?
Pass condition: The route has a visible review state, stable identifiers, and correction triggers.
RESEARCH EDITION
