Selection policy and publication record

Priority goes to a concrete change: a release, an operational risk, an agreement or a research result with inspectable evidence. A company name alone is not enough. Reported financing, exploratory talks and vendor claims retain those labels.

A dated record

This edition preserves its original collection date and selection notes. Later corrections are dated within the articles. Publication review and email delivery are separate; the collection record does not imply that an edition was emailed.
