Where every row comes from
How sources are handledA source is registered before it is read, with a rights determination attached. Open and attribution sources publish; restricted compilations are discovery indexes only, and nothing read from one is stored as a fact; licensed and competitor products are benchmarks and are never ingested.Every published row names its own origin, its effective date and the date it was read, and links the document wherever the publisher serves one.| Family | What it carries | Feeds |
|---|---|---|
| Federal regulator filings | What firms, funds and plans are required to tell a federal regulator, on the regulator's own schedule. | 8 |
| Public records | Public records that do not sit in one of the families above. | 4 |
| Firm and issuer disclosures | What an organisation publishes about itself: its own site, its reports, its plan and fund disclosures. | 3 |
| Federal program and statistical data | Federal programme registers and statistical series: who is funded, insured, assisted or measured. | 2 |
| DFX's own graph | Facts this system produced: resolved identities, typed relationships, detector output, labelled outcomes. | 2 |

Of the 14 feeds that record a read, 43% were read in the last day, 50% in the last week and 71% in the last month. A feed is read on the cadence its publisher changes on, so a quarterly filing being a quarter old is the correct answer rather than a stale one.
Every source is registered with its publisher, access mechanism, cadence and a rights determination before its first row is read, and a source without a green determination never reaches a page. The registry itself is not published: which feeds exist, which answer, and which are worth reading is the work. What is published is the provenance of every individual claim, on the record it belongs to, and the shape of what stands behind it. Buyers running diligence get the registry under contract.
