What Kortex holds, and what each layer is fit for

Coverage varies by geography, technology, relationship type and evidence method; and an honest platform says where it is thin in the same voice it says where it is deep. This page is the single register: the physical inventory below updates hourly from the live graph; the fitness table states, per analytical domain, the geography, vintage, evidence class and what the layer is suitable for. Every "suitable for" verdict traces to a published validation study where one exists.

541 governed datasets 152 registered sources 10,615,091 graph nodes 2.26B relational rows 37 time-series hypertables 100% of servable datasets retrievable; audited

This is a growing, continuously refreshed estate: fire detections land 6-hourly, market prices 4-hourly, EIA demand 2-hourly, FX/carbon daily, GLEIF daily-to-monthly; the source register re-audits itself every Sunday and these counts re-render hourly from the live snapshot. Working state (staging, archives, superseded versions) is exempted from the register; what you see is product, not clutter. Rights-pending datasets are built in and gated pending approval, never silently dropped.

Counts substitute hourly from the live schema snapshot (2026-07-18); the deeper machine-readable inventory is /api/schema and the audit register on request. Coverage percentages come from the named validation studies, not self-assessment; misses included, at /validation. Rights per source: /licensing. If a layer you need is thin here, that is a fact worth knowing before diligence; and exactly the kind we publish.
