Use cases by function
One question per function
One index, seven ways to use it. Each starts from a question whose answer exists nowhere else: since when.
Seven functions
Find yours
Each page starts from the question that function is trying to settle, and says what the dated archive can answer.

Two other ways in
By your sector, or by your own offering
Function is not the only door: the rule that applies to your sector opens another, and building the index into your own product opens a third.
What changes from one function to the next
The data is the same, the delivery is not
A response team needs a dated fact it can act on within the hour. A lawyer needs an exhibit that holds up against the other side. An underwriter needs anteriority over twelve months. An advisory firm needs to hand the whole thing over under its own brand.
It is the same index, the same collection, the same timestamping. What differs is the shape of the deliverable and what we allow ourselves to claim. One page per function, because a promise that fits everyone fits no one.
