Overview

Quartz-powered digital garden for tracking intellectual property research across clients, infringers, and content ecosystems. Built on the PLU (Power × Legitimacy × Urgency) infringement-classification framework.

How It Works

The wiki is a content-as-code research system. Every artifact — entity profile, scan report, relationship, evidence — is a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter under content/. Quartz compiles the tree to a static site; no runtime database, no API, no admin UI.

What This Is

A research notebook for tracking who is using a client’s intellectual property, where, and how seriously it matters.

When a creator (say, a children’s music label in Colombia) needs to know if someone on Spotify, YouTube, or a pirate site is reusing their songs without permission, this wiki is where the answer lives. Every artist, channel, label, or platform that touches the client’s work becomes a profile with a score: how much power they have, how legitimate their use is, and how urgent it is to act. The scoring sorts them into eight buckets — from Definitive threats that need immediate legal action, to Latent uses that are harmless background noise.

Profiles start small (a name, a platform, a first sighting) and grow into full dossiers as more evidence comes in. Every relationship, every takedown, every score change is logged, so the history of a case is always recoverable. Nothing is hidden in a database — it’s all readable files you can open, diff, and search with normal tools.

The output is a published website the client and their legal team can browse: click a song, see everyone using it, see who acted and who didn’t, see the receipts.
