Who it is for

Whoever you are
in this field.

Curious

Is any of it real, who is in people's heads, and what happens to brain data.

Newcomers

Where to start, which device and tools, who is hiring.

Engineers

What works together, what is going unmaintained, which standards win adoption.

Researchers

Who is publishing what, open datasets, the labs to work with.

Companies

Competitors, partners, regulators and talent — moving, the day they move.

Investors & funds

Who is progressing before they announce it, and which claims hold.

How we know

Every fact says
how it is known.

Observed

Read from a primary source: a registry, a regulator, a filing, a paper, code, a policy.

Declared

Stated by the company itself, and marked as its word.

Inferred

A reading of observed facts — reviewed by a person before you see it, and never shown as fact.
