Research Status Board
What CDA is publishing, collecting, and checking.

Trust standards
What moves a product from concept to validated.
School, county, sport, or finance fields are being gathered.
Identity, field mapping, source conflicts, and scoring logic are checked.
A limited public output is useful but still carries visible caveats.
Source coverage, corrections, and methodology support broader citation.
Known data gaps, disputed fields, or weak evidence prevent validation.
