Connect the Dots

Cited propositions and unresolved research connections are distinguished by status. Verification needs do not establish a custodian’s failure to produce records.

Working interactive prototype based on ongoing source reconciliation. Solid items identify source-supported propositions; dashed or flagged connections identify questions or records needed. A reference to an outstanding source does not by itself mean the Town or another custodian failed to produce it. No unresolved connection should be read as a finding of wrongdoing.

Connect the Dots — Marina

Entities, law, money, and records mapped against one another. Solid arrows identify cited propositions, not present-compliance conclusions. Dashed arrows identify questions or verification dependencies, not production failures.

“No arrow without evidence.”If a relationship is incomplete, the arrow itself shows VERIFY, PARTIAL, or AWAITING RECORDS. AWAITING RECORDS identifies a verification need here, not a verified filing or delay.

Evidence status legend

Every claim, topic, and relationship on this site carries one of these six statuses.

DOCUMENTED
Directly established by primary evidence.
PARTIALLY DOCUMENTED
Some parts are established, but material questions remain.
AWAITING RECORDS
Records have been identified as necessary, or requested, but are not yet available.
VERIFY
Evidence points to the issue, but additional primary documentation or reconciliation is needed.
DISPUTED
Relevant records or official accounts conflict.
RESOLVED
The available record sufficiently answers the original question.

Reading the graph

  • Solid arrow — the relationship is established by primary evidence.
  • Dashed arrow — the relationship is under review or identifies a verification dependency. The arrow shows VERIFY, PARTIAL, or AWAITING RECORDS, not a verified filing, production failure or delay.
  • Dashed node border — a record we needed for document-specific review; an archive search miss is not proof of absence.
  • Select a node — click, or press Tab then Enter, to open its type, status, neutral summary, source or needed record, last verified date, and connections.
