The engine's intake, itemized across four domains: financial, physical, civic, digital. Every feed, who operates it, what we draw from it, and how often it lands. If a number shows up in a product, it started somewhere on this page.

[1] the engine's sync registry · [2] ingest log, trailing 93 days · [3] live record count · figures as of 2026-07-19. Rows below group related feeds, so this page reads shorter than 189; the registry is the count of record.
What a company reported, what the economy did, and what the market paid for it. Three groups, and every figure in them ends at the document it came from.

Operators are named where the record is public, and credited where our licenses allow; the rest are described by class. Cadences are the engine's scheduled sweeps, not the upstream's publication rate. Feeds come and go as coverage expands; the registry is refreshed with each release. Your linked accounts in Vexa are your own data, never part of the shared substrate. Registry as of 2026-07-20.
