Institutional systems first · Themes and lenses separate

Start with a key issue area.

Key issue areas describe the institutional, legal, economic, social and material systems through which public questions are governed.

The Finder is organized around key issue areas and atomic issues. Themes, communities and identity lenses help visitors examine those issues across different contexts, but do not own the issues or imply shared beliefs.

Themes and lenses change the view. They do not determine what anyone believes. Sharing a key issue area, lens, collection, tag, or wording does not establish an intersection.

Issues first · Evidence gated · Browser-local

Examine how public issues intersect.

Choose one public issue for orientation, or two to five for comparison. You can start with an issue, role, population, institution, or lens. The Finder returns governed findings only from public issue IDs and explicit relationship records; it can also say insufficient evidence, no strong intersection, or no explicit edge.

Private in your browser. No account or profiling. No remote analytics or inferred identity. Unsaved selections are session-local.

First-use orientation

Use the model in a deliberate sequence.

  1. 1
    Start from public issue structure

    Search 160 issue paths across 24 categories and 47 subcategories. Choose public issues—not people, ideology, identity, wealth, or endorsement.

  2. 2
    Review matched paths and lenses

    Inspect category, subcategory, outside-in systems, inside-out dimensions, source status, and related issue paths before generating anything.

  3. 3
    Generate a governed brief

    The result checks explicit IntersectionEdges, source coverage, review state, limits, and relationship strength buckets before showing supporting visuals. It may report reviewed directional, partial overlap, conflicting evidence, no strong intersection, insufficient evidence, no explicit governed edge, or retired/superseded.

A shared topic does not automatically establish an intersection. Visual proximity, tags, related issue IDs, category membership, recommendations, shared wording, and adjacency buckets never create an intersection conclusion.

Choose issues

Start with one public issue path.

Use the quick search to begin with an issue, role, population, institution, place, or lens. Example starts demonstrate workflow only; they are not validated conclusions or recommendations about you.
