State of the Archive

This page reports how completely the site has documented its subject, how well it has sourced its claims, and where its gaps stand. The numbers measure the site's own work against its own standards. They never measure, score, or rank the traditions the site describes.

World views with their history documented

31.4%

  • Documented in full 22
  • Documented in part 21
  • Not yet documented 26
  • Held under a community framework 1

Target: 100% documented in full

This number measures the completeness of the site's own history documentation. It is not a measure of any world view's history, importance, or truth.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Posts with a primary source

54.1%

Target: At least 90%

The rate measures the site's sourcing discipline on the kinds the citation structure covers. A post without a primary source is unfinished sourcing work by the site, whatever its subject.

Assessments awaiting review

180

Target: Trending to zero

The backlog is the review work the site owes once its reviewers are named. Its size reflects the appointment's standing, not the entities assessed.

What these numbers do not mean

Every number on this page describes the state of this site's documentation. A tradition with low coverage here is less documented so far, not lesser in itself. Coverage is not truth, sourcing is not agreement, and no number on this page is a verdict on any faith, any text, or any community. No single score combines these numbers, and none is kept anywhere on the site.

Religious art entries

34

An entry count measures the art section's volume. It does not rank traditions by their art, and a tradition with no figural art is documented by its profiles, not by entries it cannot have.

The Methods section is in preparation, so this metric is registered before its computation exists; no number is rendered until the records stand.

Library entries

37

A library count measures what the site has catalogued. It does not measure the worth of the collections named.

Church directory organizations

168

The directory counts the organizations it presents. Absence from the directory is an absence from the site's work, not from the world.

The total joins four kinds of relationship, and the parts are stated on the card. A relationship records a connection the site asserts; it is not a measure of any tradition's connectedness in the world.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Coverage: how completely each standard is met

Christian Assessment completeness

0.0%

Target: 100% of published entities

Completeness measures the review work the site has finished. Every verdict stands at Not yet reviewed until the named reviewers are appointed, so this number is expected to stand at zero and to say so.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Executable method rate

100.0%

Target: At least 80%

The rate measures whether the site's methods are usable, not whether a method is sound; soundness belongs to the Methods section's own presentation.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Language relationship coverage

23.3%

Target: 100%

Coverage measures how much of the language fabric the site has documented. A language without a relationship row is undocumented here, not unrelated in the world.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Origin narratives with all three layers

100.0%

Target: 100%

The rate measures the completeness of records Red and the site are still verifying. A draft is unfinished editorial work, and its presence here is not a claim about any tradition's origins.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

World views with their history documented

31.4%

  • Documented in full 22
  • Documented in part 21
  • Not yet documented 26
  • Held under a community framework 1

Target: 100% documented in full

This number measures the completeness of the site's own history documentation. It is not a measure of any world view's history, importance, or truth.

Provenance: how well claims are sourced

Posts with a primary source

54.1%

Target: At least 90%

The rate measures the site's sourcing discipline on the kinds the citation structure covers. A post without a primary source is unfinished sourcing work by the site, whatever its subject.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Posts with a secondary source

54.1%

Target: At least 90%

Secondary coverage measures whether the site shows its scholarly company. It does not certify agreement with the sources named.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Freshness: how current the archive is

Assessments under a superseded criteria version

0

Target: 0

A stale version is unfinished migration work by the site. It is not a defect in the entity assessed.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Integrity: whether the data is consistent

Posts outside the taxonomy

9

Target: 0

An untagged post is invisible to the site's own cross-referencing. The defect is in the site's tagging, never in the post's subject.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Tree entities with an unresolved parent

0

Target: 0

An orphan entity is a break in the site's own tree. The entity's tradition did not cause it.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Relationships pointing at nothing

0

Target: 0

A dangling relationship is rot in the site's own fabric. The relationship's subject did not cause it.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Taxonomy terms gathering nothing

233

Target: 0

An empty term is a promise the site has not kept yet. It is listed so the taxonomy stays honest about its own shape.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Taxonomy parents with one child

2

Target: 0 uncollapsed without justification

The count is a review list for the site's editors. A single-child parent is often right; the rule is that it must be justified, not that it must go.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Symmetry: the Diptych's evenness

Binding marks still at research in progress

3

Target: Tracked, kept small

Each such mark is a call the site has openly deferred. The count measures the site's unfinished analysis, and the standard is that it stays small and shrinks.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Internal diversity

History events carrying their diversity note

15.5%

Target: 100%

The note is the site's guard against presenting any tradition as a monolith. The rate measures the site's use of its own guard.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Entities with a disputed placement

2

Target: Reported; rising is not a failure

A disputed placement is the site recording a genuine scholarly disagreement about where an entity belongs. A rising count is not a failure; hiding one would be.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Structural health

Entities reachable within four clicks

100.0%

Target: 100%

Reachability measures the site's navigation, not an entity's importance. An unreachable entity is a defect in the tree's joinery.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Editorial throughput: whether the gaps are closing

Assessments awaiting review

180

Target: Trending to zero

The backlog is the review work the site owes once its reviewers are named. Its size reflects the appointment's standing, not the entities assessed.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Integration health

Feeds parsing without error

100.0%

Target: 100%

Validity measures the site's syndication plumbing. A broken feed is an engineering defect, and its subjects are not described by it.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this number is computed

Accessibility and performance

This family's metrics stand defined in the definitions, and their computation connects to the site's data in the adjustment layer. No number is rendered for them until it can be computed truthfully.

Honest gaps

The gaps are part of the report. This panel stands open, never collapsed, and names where the archive is thinnest and what the site is withholding and why.

The least-documented world views

  • Ahmadiyya No history dataset stands for this world view yet.
  • Apatheism No history dataset stands for this world view yet.
  • Aristotelianism No history dataset stands for this world view yet.
  • Cao Dai No history dataset stands for this world view yet.
  • Cynicism No history dataset stands for this world view yet.
  • Druze No history dataset stands for this world view yet.
  • Effective Altruism and Longtermism No history dataset stands for this world view yet.
  • Epicureanism No history dataset stands for this world view yet.
  • Mandaeism No history dataset stands for this world view yet.
  • Panentheism No history dataset stands for this world view yet.

This list measures the site's documentation arrears. A world view's place on it describes the site's work, and it is published precisely so the arrears are visible rather than buried.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this is computed

The records longest awaiting review

The list names editorial arrears the site owes named reviewers. A record's wait describes the site's queue, not the record's worth.

Computed October 31, 2026. How this is computed

High-traffic pages with the lowest provenance

Traffic data is not connected to this computation, so this list cannot be ranked and none is presented in its place. Connecting it is registered work, and its absence is stated here rather than filled with a substitute.

Traffic data is not connected to this computation, and the panel says so in place of the list rather than present a substitute ranking as if it were this one. The absence is itself one of the archive's honest gaps.

Records withheld, by reason by group
Held under the Indigenous consent framework: a community's foundational histories publish only with that community's granted consent10

Withholding under the consent framework is the site keeping its word to the communities concerned. The count exists so the withholding is open, never silent.

Definitions and changes

Every number on this page is defined in the metric definitions: what it measures, how it is computed, what it excludes, who owns it, and what it does not mean.

  • 2026-10-30 The registry's first publication: the twelve families of Doc 29 stand defined at definitions version 1.0, and the metrics whose computation the site's data supports stand computed from this date.
