How the platform works

The platform ingests public NSW Government gambling reporting into an immutable raw vault. Every file is sha256-fingerprinted and lineage-tracked.

Parsers are versioned and fingerprinted. Each ingested record carries a lineage reference back to its raw source row.

Canonical entity resolution is deterministic and reversible. Original source identity values are write-once preserved.

Observability is rank-based at the venue grain and EGM-count-based at the LGA grain. No dollar values are inferred; no synthetic observations are produced.

Reform overlays are descriptive context. Causation is not inferred and effectiveness is not judged.
