This repository is a public research atlas for technical, economic, geopolitical, and knowledge-system topics. It is built to keep research outputs readable as articles while preserving enough of the research trail for readers to inspect how conclusions were reached.

Concept

The project treats each article as a durable research artifact, not a one-off note. The goal is to connect current source-based investigation with practical judgment: what happened, why it matters, what is still uncertain, and what a technical or business decision maker should watch next.

When useful and publishable, an article also has a research log. The log records the questions checked, sources used, assumptions made, rejected leads, and open follow-ups. This makes the article easier to audit without cluttering the main reading flow.

What You Can Find

• Long-form research reports on AI systems, data infrastructure, developer tools, organizational knowledge, finance, geopolitics, and related domains.
• News-style digests for recent political, economic, and technology signals.
• Source notes placed near the claims they support.
• Diagrams and tables when they make the argument easier to verify.
• Optional research logs linked from article pages when the investigation trail is useful to publish.

What This Repository Does

• Publishes reports from articles/report/<slug>/<locale>/index.mdx.
• Publishes news digests from articles/news/<slug>/<locale>/index.mdx.
• Publishes research trails from articles/<type>/<slug>/<locale>/research-log.mdx when present.
• Builds the site with Astro.
• Keeps category metadata in src/data/categories.ts.
• Keeps generation prompts, templates, scripts, and workflow tests under ops/.

ja/index.mdx is the canonical Japanese article body. en/index.mdx mirrors the same slug for English readers. research-log.mdx is optional and should contain only information that is appropriate to publish.
