DN Research / Sources you can keep

Find the evidence.
Keep the version.

Published research files for analysts, journalists and builders. Link to the evidence behind a claim, preserve its date and carry its limitations into your work.

A source directory, with context attached.

This directory covers the latest published Decision Brief snapshots, the Markets dataset, claim annotations, dated source follow-ups, comparison claim mappings and update mappings linked here. The underlying versioned files are fixed snapshots. Current research pages may evolve; cite the exact-version source when reproducibility matters.

Publicly accessible does not mean continuously verified.

Annotation and comparison-mapping dates describe publication; the update registry labels its latest linked publication separately. These dates do not refresh the original research. Review dates describe DN’s source review, not a provider release date. These files contain documentation research, not live prices, trading availability, independent audits or performance results. A newer publication does not automatically establish better or safer conditions.

The download is a JSON directory of links, versions, scope and citations. Follow each evidence JSON link to obtain the underlying file. No API key or account is needed to open these public snapshots.

ApeX Omni

Version 1.0.0 · Source review: 2026-10-14

Aster

Version 1.0.0 · Source review: 2026-10-14

Version 1.0.0 · Latest mapped publication: 2026-10-15
