Build a shared resource through verifiable contributions
Prepare verifiable updates to Kazakhstan sources, tools and practical routes. The public intake channel is not open yet; safe local JSON templates are available without personal dossiers or tasks targeting people.
What you can propose now

How review works
A proposal passes scope and harm triage, independent evidenceResearch material whose provenance, time, integrity state and link to an exact source version are preserved. review, language review and a decision by the named owner.
- proposal → scope/harm triage → evidence packet → review → publication → correction logAn append-only record of a material change, its date, reason and new version.
- A name match, graph proximity or score never becomes a claimAn atomic, verifiable statement linked to evidence, a coverage envelope and separate human assessment dimensions. by itself.
- A published card retains its owner, review date, sources, rights and correction path.
Open participation boundary
The public queue does not accept personal-data documents, identity requests, hidden collection, biometrics, breach material or content whose publication could harm a person.
- Do not post tokens, source contacts, private exports or original case documents.
- Report vulnerabilities only through SECURITY.md, never a public issue.
- Working investigations remain in a separately admitted protected workspace.
Open reference patterns
QOSINT uses external projects as checkable patterns rather than copying their catalogues: collaborative tool maintenance, practical learning, provenance and reproducible analysis.
