Source health

A static, automation-free source-health checklist: which cited sources back live data, which have aging or high-priority dependent observations, and which need a manual re-verification — derived from source cadence and review status. Not runtime monitoring; not real-time.

static reference · data June 5, 2026

Source health is a manually maintained checklist that flags where a cited source needs a re-verification. For each source it combines the derived authority and citation readiness with the review status of the live observations that depend on it: sources with stale or overdue dependents rank first. It runs no scheduled checks, makes no HTTP requests, and is not an availability or uptime claim — it only tells a maintainer where to look next.

  • 50 sources · 24 back live observations.
  • 10 have high-priority dependents; 16 have a due-soon-or-worse dependent.
  • Machine-readable at /source-health/data.json.

Sources by access & format

How each source can be read — not an uptime claim. Machine-readable sources can be refreshed on demand; PDF/spreadsheet and inaccessible (e.g. 403) sources need a manual read and are why some values stay source-gated. See the source watch and source packets.

Source health is a static, manually maintained checklist derived from each source's cadence and the review status of the observations that depend on it. It is not runtime monitoring, runs no scheduled checks, and makes no availability or SLA claim — it only flags where a manual re-verification is recommended.
