Raw notes, market signals, and source material for each channel blueprint.
Tide Line
Your coast is flooding more than it used to. We count the days, project the future, and tell you exactly when your street goes underwater — with government data, not vibes.
Consumer-facing high-tide flooding intelligence — city-by-city flood day scorecards, historical trend analysis, decade-ahead projections, property risk context, and "sunny day flooding" dispatches, all auto-generated from NOAA's free APIs and delivered as beautiful, hyperlocal data journalism.
Cable Cut
The invisible internet is under attack. We're watching.
Consumer-facing submarine cable security intelligence — incident tracking, repair fleet capacity dashboards, chokepoint risk analysis, "shadow vessel" monitoring near cable routes, and geopolitical threat maps. Translating scattered B2B telecom data and government advisories into a beautiful, opinionated, weekly data-journalism site that answers: *How safe is the internet beneath your feet?*
Shade Audit
Your city promised a million trees. We're counting.
Consumer-facing urban tree canopy accountability — city-level canopy scorecards, equity analysis (rich vs. poor neighborhoods), ecosystem service dollar valuations, "million trees" pledge tracking, heat-death correlation maps, and species-level urban forest profiles, all auto-generated from satellite data and city open data portals.
Bug Bounty
The superbugs are winning. Someone should be keeping score.
Consumer-facing antimicrobial resistance intelligence — translating WHO, ECDC, CDC, and NCBI surveillance data into beautiful, opinionated, story-driven weekly dispatches that answer the question every thinking person has: *Which antibiotics still work, which don't, and should I be worried?*
Weed Feast
The most nutritious food in your neighborhood is the stuff you've been poisoning.
Science-backed wild edible plant intelligence — peer-reviewed nutritional profiles, toxicology safety cards, lookalike danger alerts, seasonal foraging calendars by climate zone, regional availability maps from citizen science data, and "weed vs. grocery" nutritional showdowns — all auto-generated from USDA, GBIF, iNaturalist, PubMed, and OpenAlex data.
Dump Clock
Every landfill in America is filling up. We're counting down the clock.
Consumer-facing landfill accountability intelligence — capacity countdown timers, methane emissions scorecards, EPA violation tracking, environmental justice proximity analysis, and hyperlocal "what's burying near you" dispatches for every active municipal solid waste landfill in the United States, auto-generated from EPA LMOP, GHGRP, ECHO, TRI, and EJScreen data.
Culture Club
What's actually alive in your food — and what the science says it does to you.
Consumer-facing fermented food microbiology intelligence — strain-level microbial profiles, peer-reviewed health-effect verdicts, metabolite breakdowns, and data-rich "field guides" for every fermented food, auto-generated from metagenomics databases, academic papers, and nutritional APIs. Not wellness woo. Real data, beautifully rendered.
Stolen Stars
Your city stole 200 stars from your sky last year. We have the satellite receipts.
Consumer-facing light pollution intelligence — city-level sky brightness scorecards, dark sky loss timelines, health impact translation, wildlife damage reports, astrotourism dark-sky guides, and weekly "brightest offender" dispatches, all auto-generated from VIIRS satellite composites, Globe at Night citizen science data, DarkSky International certifications, and peer-reviewed health research.
Rust Belt
Every bridge you cross has a safety score. Now you can see it.
Consumer-facing US bridge safety intelligence — transforming the federal government's National Bridge Inventory (620,000+ bridges, updated annually since 1992) into a searchable, beautifully-designed, county-level bridge safety report card with individual bridge scorecards, deterioration trend charts, repair-spending accountability, and "worst bridges near you" rankings. Not engineering reports — human-readable safety journalism powered by government data.
Fault Line
Your earthquake wasn't natural. Here's who drilled the hole that caused it — with maps, data, and receipts.
Consumer-facing induced seismicity accountability — correlating earthquake clusters with specific wastewater injection wells, operator leaderboards, proximity blame maps, injection volume trend analysis, and weekly "swarm reports" that name the companies, the wells, and the volumes — all auto-generated by mashing together USGS seismic data with state oil & gas commission injection well records.
