SmellBook will add citations claim-by-claim when reliable sources are available. Cultural associations and prototype relationships remain labeled separately.

WHERE THIS SMELL APPEARS

One profile can belong to many routes.

EVIDENCE MATTERS

A profile can contain different kinds of knowledge.

SmellBook separates cultural association, community perception, verified evidence, prediction and experimental relationships rather than presenting them as the same thing. Read the evidence guide ↗ See evidence coverage ↗
