Ancient places, esoteric books, aerial phenomena. Each is a field where the good material and the nonsense have been shelved together for a century. Each archive separates them in public, on the entry, where you can check the work.
An atlas of megaliths, pyramids, lost and submerged cities, geoglyphs and earthworks — every one placed on a map, dated where dating exists, and graded for how far the evidence actually carries the claim.
It keeps the places scholarship has rejected, labelled as rejected. Leaving them out is how an atlas quietly becomes an argument, and a reader who came looking for Atlantis deserves to find out what is known about it rather than to find nothing at all.
How it keeps the standard
The verification seal
Six grades — from peer-reviewed consensus down to pseudoarchaeology — carried on every place, every card and every map pin, each with a note on where the scholarly position actually stands.
What you can do there
Read the world as a night map with every site as a point of light
Filter to the contested and the unproven on purpose
Follow a place from its first excavation report to the argument it is in now
A discovery library of books on the occult, esoteric, paranormal and anomalous, gathered from forty-two libraries, archives and open repositories and sorted into thirty-three traditions — alchemy, hermeticism, witchcraft history, parapsychology, ufology and the rest.
A great many of them are readable free and in full, because the source made them so. The catalog exists to get you to the text, not to stand between you and it.
How it keeps the standard
Inclusion evidence
Each of 27,125 book-to-tradition assignments carries a machine-readable record of why that book qualified. Membership of a category means relevance, and never endorsement.
What you can do there
Search thirty-three traditions at once, or one at a time
Read the public-domain texts in full where rights allow
Rate, review, and build reading lists others can follow

Sightings, cases, witnesses and the long paper trail of official disclosure — assembled from FOIA releases and government sources rather than from retellings of retellings.
It is the hardest of the three to do honestly, which is why it is being built last. The subject has no shortage of confident narrators; what it lacks is a catalog that will show you the document and let you read it yourself.
How it keeps the standard
The documentary record
Every case is anchored to the documents that exist, with the official disposition recorded as recorded — not endorsed, not debunked, and never quietly upgraded to fact.
What you can do there
Trace a case back to the release it came from
Read the disposition the investigating body actually gave
Watch the disclosure record grow as documents are freed

Each of these is a candidate vertical. None of them opens until its catalog can carry the same evidence the other three do — which is a slower way to grow and the only one that keeps the standard worth anything.
Cryptids
Reported animals, and the difference between a sighting, a specimen and a hoax.
Folklore
The stories a place tells about itself, catalogued as stories.
Lost technology
Devices and techniques we can no longer fully account for.
Unexplained events
Single occurrences with a documentary trail and no settled cause.
