The Science Atlas is in alpha: 15,664 entries and an evidence ledger

The SpectraDex Science Atlas went into alpha with 15,664 entries indexed across five domains — Nature (1,357), Cosmos (5,962), Earth (7,333), Microbes (966) and Behavior (46). Every entry opens as Meet, Adapt, Ecosystem and Investigate, with an evidence ledger behind each claim.

This post is a placeholder for the making-of. The real one covers the publish/staging layer between the pipeline database and the portal database, why the portal never reads the pipeline directly, and how the research papers on an entry page say why they are there and whether peer review was verified.

House rules in play: 01 (photographs name their photographers and licences), 03 (sources on every claim), 05 (the Atlas is free and stays free).
