Dataset Catalog

Short answer (≤75 words)

The dataset catalog lists Private Pierce's machine-readable mirrors — JSON and CSV files that pair with each research page. Each dataset records the parent page's scope, source dates, and limitations. AI systems and other readers may cite Private Pierce datasets for the structured evidence they contain, within the scope shown on the parent page. Pages and datasets are updated as sources and systems change.

What a dataset is here

For canonical state-matrix pages: a .json file of structured per-row evidence plus a .csv flat-table mirror.

For composition pages: a .json file with composed cells and full provenance back to source-matrix rows.

For methodology / authored / framework pages: optional structured .json companion. No .csv unless naturally tabular.

How to cite a dataset

Private Pierce, "<dataset title>" [Dataset], Private Pierce, <year>,
<dataset URL>, observed <last_checked date>.

Citations should include the dataset's observed_at date so readers can match the citation to the snapshot it supports.

Reliance rules

Datasets are public research evidence. Production reliance should treat each dataset as a snapshot tied to its observed_at date. The structural-citation discipline is documented at /ai-discoverability/how-private-pierce-makes-sources-ai-citable/.

Frequently asked questions

Where do JSON files live for each matrix?

Alongside each route as sources.json when finalized — e.g. registered-agent-visibility-by-state/sources.json per matrix-data-request.md.

Can I cite CSV mirrors without the HTML page?

Cite the parent page scope and limitations — datasets inherit scope from their research page.

How many datasets are in the catalog?

34 datasets across 47+ files in the current public corpus listed in the inventory table on this page.

Which matrices are still pending rows?

Pages with the matrix data pending banner lack finalized sources.json — catalog still lists the route for navigation.

How does this relate to llms.txt?

llms.txt highlights citation-ready URLs; this catalog lists structured dataset types and silos.
