A stone mosaic of maps, records and photographs being joined into a shared archive
Public pieces become durable research when their sources and connections stay with them.

An archive built from investigations

The long-term aim is a social archive where people follow investigations, inspect the evidence, contribute public pieces and build on work that came before.

Unlike a feed of unsupported claims, each published finding keeps its source, archived page and place in the case. Other investigators can see what is known, what remains disputed and where to continue.

Why one hundred

According to Roman tradition, Romulus chose one hundred counsellors and called their assembly the Senate. The story belongs to Rome’s foundation legend, but the number endured as a civic symbol. The United States Senate also has one hundred members today, two from each state.

One hundred is a fitting size for HVNT33’s founding group: small enough to know who helped shape it, and large enough to begin a lasting public institution.

You choose what leaves your computer

The browser remains local-first. Cloud is an option for cases you want to keep online, work on with others or publish. Raw research and public work remain separate.

  1. Private

    Only you can open the case. Cloud storage never makes an investigation public by default.

  2. Shared

  3. Published
