Entries
Graph dedup & regulatory-coverage expansion
A cleanup pass deduplicated the relation and event graph, and a research-desk sprint expanded the jurisdiction and long-form coverage. Live market data and the news pipeline were wired end-to-end.
- Entity graph deduplicated: 25,338 typed relations (from 26,104) and 3,262 events (from 3,354) after merging twin edges and event duplicates; entity count unchanged at 11,787
- Long-form corpus grew to 434 research entries totalling 967,708 words across 12 scopes (from 237 / 722,000)
- Regulatory coverage: 40+ jurisdiction profiles expanded to full treatments (major economies, EU member states, frontier markets) and previously-skeleton countries filled with sourced content; the remaining micro-jurisdictions without a real framework stay intentionally noindexed
- News pipeline automated (2x daily scrape → entity-tag → static pages → sitemaps → IndexNow); the homepage “Daily news activity” heatmap now counts every recorded article, not just the capped live feed
- Live market data wired: edge-cached price/TVL proxies power the ticker; the DeFi tracker shows real 24h TVL-weighted deltas; the tokenization tracker’s fund totals were corrected
- Graph communities restored from the real entity graph; treasury profiles expanded with filing-sourced holdings

Versioning policy
- Major content waves (50+ pages, schema-affecting changes) get their own changelog entry.
- Bug fixes, copy edits and minor data corrections roll up into the next monthly entry rather than firing one entry per fix.
- Schema-breaking API changes ship with a 30-day deprecation notice in the changelog.
- Each material correction (fact change on a published page) is logged here and on the affected page.
