The Chai & Code MethodologyHow the archive selects records, verifies claims, separates evidence from interpretation, and preserves founder stories without manufacturing mythology.What Makes a Founder Story Worth PreservingA preservation test for founder stories: consequence, specificity, uncertainty, evidence, systems, and a question that remains useful after the outcome is known.
The record stays open
