Publisher breadth is not editorial independence. Unknown upstream origins are never counted as independent reporting. Open a news article to inspect the pages read and its origin test.
Exact article spans resolve against a versioned public gazetteer before bounded public-data enrichment runs. The current public store contains 324 resolved places and 3207 of 10147 mentions matched to their own coordinates; unresolved names are not moved to a capital.
Heat counts distinct ingested news-event clusters. Grey means no ingested observation, not that nothing exists. A zero is a measured zero. Semantic place confidence is an unvalidated rubric, not a probability.
