Office of Ontological Obsessiveness / Method and disclosures

Accountability is not classified.

Suscorp is being developed to help people evaluate everyday claims. Our explanations should be open to the same questions we encourage you to ask elsewhere.

Methods, not verdicts

We teach source tracing, scientific article interpretation, evidence evaluation, and incentive analysis. We do not rank publishers or tell readers which viewpoints to adopt. An incentive can matter without making a claim false; uncertainty does not make all explanations equally plausible.

What supports an example?

Our intended standard is to identify the exact claim, its origin, the evidence, missing context, relevant incentives, uncertainty, and a proportionate conclusion. Real-world examples should link to underlying materials and receive a second person's review before publication.

The chart lesson starts with invented transit figures: (105,000 − 95,000) ÷ 95,000 × 100 ≈ 10.5%, rounded to about 11%. That example is not reporting on a real campaign. It also examines three sourced historical examples: NASA's temperature chart, The Economist's dog-size chart and redesign, and OxyContin sales-training diagrams documented in an agreed statement of facts. Original images, source links, and limits on our conclusions accompany the analysis. The source-tracing guide adds an explicitly fictional notification/productivity example to explain how claims change as citations are repeated, alongside attribution to Mike Caulfield's SIFT method. The scientific-article guide uses a fictional sleep-app trial and invented event counts to explain comparisons, uncertainty, and effect sizes, with methodological references to Cochrane and the American Statistical Association. These examples are not real research findings or treatment advice. Satirical commentary is ours; it is not attributed to the sources. Independent editorial review remains a launch requirement.

Status, funding, and conflicts

This is an educational project in formation, not a claim of incorporation or IRS recognition. This preview does not accept donations.

Funding and organizational arrangements remain in development. Planned support is not received funding. A proposed paid hosting arrangement with Little Sky Cloud, a business owned by Suscorp's founder, would introduce a financial conflict; no contract or billing approval is established by this preview. Any such arrangement requires disclosure and independent review. These working principles are not yet adopted board policies.

Corrections and feedback

This early public preview does not yet offer a monitored feedback channel or a named corrections owner. Those remain requirements for the full educational launch. The intended process is to review reported issues, explain substantive changes on the affected page, and maintain a dated correction history.

Privacy in this preview

These static pages contain no analytics scripts, signup forms, advertising, or third-party embeds. Reading does not require an account. The site's Nginx virtual host has routine access logging disabled. Infrastructure error logs and security systems may still process request information, including IP addresses, to operate and protect the service. The pages do not set cookies. If you choose Light or Dark in the theme selector, that preference is saved in your browser's local storage; choosing System removes it. No theme preference is sent to our servers. Detailed provider and security-log retention disclosures remain outstanding for the full launch.

Accessibility

The preview includes keyboard-accessible links, a skip link, responsive layouts, and a text explanation of the chart. Browser, screen-reader, and print testing remain necessary; this is not a claim of audited accessibility compliance. Future videos should include captions and transcripts.
