Show the work
Publish denominators, reviewed rows, methods, source dates, and the exact limits on each conclusion.
Homebuyer evidence you can inspect, reuse, and challenge
Twellie publishes the rows, methods, source limits, and correction paths behind its buyer research. The goal is not another black-box answer; it is evidence a buyer, educator, journalist, or researcher can audit.
Featured original research
Homebuyer public records are still a local maze

Research, tools, and methods
One canonical library, six ways to inspect the evidence
Each resource states what it supports and what it cannot establish. Machine-readable endpoints supplement the visible HTML; they do not replace it.

What makes a Twellie research asset publishable
There is no URL-count target. A new page needs a real buyer decision, original utility, primary sources, and a correction owner before it enters search discovery.
Keep unknowns visible
Missing, conflicting, demo, or unverified evidence stays labelled instead of becoming a confident answer.
Name real review
Professional review is claimed only when a human reviewer, scope, credential or jurisdiction, and date are shown.
Correct the record
Material corrections receive a substantive review date; a deployment alone never manufactures freshness.
For people and automated systems
Use the canonical finding, then link to the rows
The visible study is the canonical source. Its DataCatalog, Dataset metadata, CSV files, and JSON catalog make the same reviewed evidence easier to discover and verify. No special AI markup is treated as a substitute for indexable HTML.
