A publisher of maintained reference and evidence works.

Field Assembly publishes free works of two kinds. Reference works quote the rules institutions publish about themselves: exactly, from first-party sources, dated, re-verified on a stated cadence, with corrections on the record. Evidence works report what a published literature has been asked, what it has answered, and what it conspicuously has not reported — every judgment made in two recorded passes, versioned, and never presented as fact. In both, an absence is a finding. Every capture is retained and externally timestamped, so what a page said, on a date, can be proven years later: a standing record, already being kept when the dispute arrives.

The works

Reference works

  1. Rules & Record

    Special education dispute procedures for parents, one page per state: the routes, the offices, the safeguards notice, and every stated timeline, quoted from each state's own published documents, with a named reviewer and a change log on every page. A second module, built the same way, covers K–12 school discipline for every student — the notice and hearing a state requires before a suspension or expulsion, what continues during a removal, the appeal routes, and the questions each state leaves to district policy.

  2. Gathered Work

    Academic-integrity procedures for writers accused of using AI, one page per institution: the policy, the process, the appeal path, quoted from each school's own published sources. Beside the pages, a records method for organizing the writer's own drafts into evidence.

  3. Board & Border

    Endorsement and mobility procedures for nurses moving between states, one page per jurisdiction: the applying board, the required steps, the fees, and the compact conditions, quoted from each board's own published materials.

  4. Room & Recourse

    Nursing-home involuntary transfer and discharge by state: the grounds a facility may state, the notice a resident is owed, the hearing office and filing route, bed-hold and readmission sources, and the long-term-care ombudsman for each jurisdiction.

Evidence works

  1. GLP‑1 Evidence

    What the published research on GLP‑1 drugs actually shows, and how much of it applies to healthy normal-weight adults aged 55–75 — a group the trials largely did not enroll. Every study is recorded with its population, findings, funding and original source, and each is checked for whether weight loss alone could explain the result. Facts taken from a paper are kept apart from our judgments about it, every judgment is versioned, and certainty is rated per outcome on a scale that is labelled as ours and never presented as GRADE.

  2. AI Learning Evidence

    What published studies show about one question: does generative AI used during instruction or practice improve what learners can do on their own, afterward? Performance while the tool is available is recorded as assisted performance and never counted as evidence of learning. Every finding is badged with whether AI was available at assessment, when the outcome was measured, and how far it sits from the practiced material; claims without an earned status are withheld rather than shown blank, and coverage is stated as documented searches plus monitored channels, never as comprehensive.

02What they are for

What these are for

An institution sends you a letter, and you have days to answer it. The people on the other side handle this procedure every week. You are meeting it once, and the rules that govern it are published, which sounds like enough until you go looking: they sit in a dozen separate PDFs on an agency's own site, written for people who already know how the system works.

Each page here collects what one institution has published about its own process, in that institution's words, with the date it was checked and a link back to the original. It tells you nothing about what you should do. It tells you what the rules say, which is the part that is hard to find, and it shows you where to confirm it yourself.

The second half is the dates. A published policy changes, and when it does the old version usually disappears: the agency replaces the page, and the wording you read in March is gone by August. Every capture behind these pages is kept rather than overwritten, and timestamped by independent authorities anyone can verify — one of the proofs anchored in the Bitcoin blockchain. If what a rule said on the day you acted ever matters, it can be produced.

That is why every check adds an entry rather than replacing the last one. A page here can show what an institution said about its own process on each date anyone looked, which is a different question from what it says today, and usually the one a dispute turns on.

The Diff points the same instrument at the companies building AI systems. Their terms, usage policies, and model notices change often, and the company holds the only copy of what they used to say. Someone who built on a policy, or relied on a claim about a model, has no way back to it. We keep a weekly copy, and when a document changes we publish both versions side by side, quoted, with the dates.

03The standard

One set of commitments, across every work

Every published work above is kept to the same set of commitments: first-party sources only, verbatim quotation verified mechanically, absences recorded as findings, captures retained rather than replaced, and capture dates provable by external timestamp. They are written down, versioned, and open to audit: the Record Standard.

And the works stay free — no accounts, no advertising, no analytics, from a publisher funded to need none of them. That commitment is stated on its own page, and the statement is itself externally timestamped: why this will still be here.
