The people behind esports · ownership, capital, governance
Evidence before narrative.
A dossier platform where every sentence is a claim with a source, a locator and a lineage — not a paragraph someone typed and hoped you would trust.
Design prototype, no login. Every record in it is fictional sample data — see the notice at the end.
Method
The order of operations
Most “intelligence” products start with a conclusion and work backwards. This one has a fixed pipeline that cannot be skipped — each stage is a table, not a vibe.
Sources, with provenance
Originals and derivatives are separate records: retrieval state, original language, translator, locator, SHA-256, licence. A URL is not proof; it is an address.
Claims, not paragraphs
Every durable statement is a typed claim — fact, reported, allegation or assessment — with attribution, valid time, record time and evidence links. Published claims are append-only: a correction creates a new version.
Composition by reference
A dossier is a sequence of typed blocks pointing at canonical claims and entities. Nothing is copy-pasted, so a corrected claim flows into every dossier that cites it — and flags the ones that go stale.
Review, then publication
An agent can file a research batch into staging. A human accepts or rejects it. Accepting means “may enter the knowledge base” — verification and publication are two further, separately logged acts.
Screens
Three views of one record
Brief for reading, Casefile for structure, Evidence for provenance. Same data, three densities — captured from the working prototype. Click any screen for full size.
The dossier standard · EIDS-01
Twelve sections, fixed anatomy
Same structure for every subject, so a reader always knows where a judgment lives and where its evidence is. Conditional sections may say “not established” — never filler invented to look complete.
EIDS-01 is an internal convention that synthesises public analytic-tradecraft and investigative practice. It is not an official intelligence-community standard and carries no classification markings.

What exists today
Stated plainly, because a dossier platform that overstates its own provenance would be a joke.
Working
- Design system and token set (docs/DESIGN.md)
- Interactive prototype: inbox, editor, reader + evidence drawer
- Specification v0.3.0 — data model, agent contract, acceptance tests
- Two architecture decisions: stack & editor; the agent boundary
- This site, deployed to Cloudflare at edossier.tech
Not yet
- PostgreSQL schema and migrations
- Authenticated API and an agent staging endpoint (how a researcher files a batch)
- Review log, canonical commit, immutable published snapshots
- Any real dossier — every record here is fictional sample data
Sample data notice. The screens and the prototype use invented entities — Periphery Gaming, Dahlia Holdings, and people who do not exist — so that no real person is described by an unverified claim. Nothing on this site is reporting, and no claim shown has been through review.
A dossier you can audit, or no dossier.
The first real casefile — an esports ownership and control chain built from corporate filings — is the next milestone. Until it passes its own review gate, it does not get published.
Corrections, source tips or a takedown request: hello@edossier.tech. A correction to a published claim starts a revision, not an edit.
