Column 2: evidence · the 21-row profile
Open data, followed all the way down to one person inside it.
Every piece here starts with a public dataset and ends with a story. The numbers can be checked: any figure set in mono opens its own evidence in a column to the right, so you never have to leave the sentence you are reading to find out whether it is true.
