First experiments with data and code — data stories and analyses. Open, unfinished, in the making.

Experiments · ongoing, refreshed each night

Ongoing experiments with open data sources — each names its sources and discloses how it is made.

The Protocol — Daily figures from twelve open sources

Every night a pipeline writes the minutes of the planet's session — from twelve open, citable sources, deterministic, no LLM. Every agenda item ends the same way: Resolution: adjourned.
