WHY THIS EXISTS

A story is not frozen at publication.

Pulse records material changes when stronger evidence, confirmation, a regulator update, a new figure, a deployment date or another meaningful development changes the state of a signal. The ledger shows the transition instead of silently overwriting history.

LEDGER RULE

We only show a transition when evidence changed.

A headline refresh, formatting change or repeated coverage is not enough. Ledger entries are generated from Pulse's stored material-update record and retain the source that triggered the change.

Not revision history for everythingThis page is intentionally narrower than a full edit log. It tracks material evidence changes, not cosmetic edits.
