- Worth noticing
- The project organizes state-level events into 33 categories and nine themes covering 2008–2024.
Field notes
The project frames democratic erosion as a structured chronology of events rather than a general index or opinion page. Its planned information architecture includes state and theme views, category guides, methodology, state reports, annual reports, briefs, and peer-reviewed articles. The homepage says the current demo uses sample data, while the full data download is reserved for public release; two broader dashboards are listed as planned for 2027.
