Where facts come from
Data sources
Every feed the platform is designed to consume, its current connection state, and the rule that governs an unconnected module.
The promise
No module may display a value unless its provider is connected and can supply a source label and a retrieval timestamp.
The integration rule
The site keeps a single registry of external providers. A component reads that registry before it renders anything factual. If the relevant provider reports disconnected, the component renders its structure, names the fields it needs, and shows an integration-pending state — it never falls back to a sample number.
This is why the dashboards on this site are currently empty frames rather than charts. The frames are real; the data is honestly absent.
Source hierarchy
When feeds are connected, precedence runs: the venue or operator's own published price; the league or governing body for participation and results; the regulator for legal and licensing status; the national meteorological service for conditions. Aggregators are used only where a primary source publishes nothing.
Each published figure carries the provider name and the retrieval time it was captured, because a price without a timestamp is not a fact.
Licensing
Market and odds data is licensed content. We will connect a provider only under terms that permit public display, and the provider will be named on every page that uses it. We will not scrape a venue that prohibits it, and we will not republish data we are not licensed to show.
