The scan comes first
We check for exact and near matches before an origin record can even start.
Every line has a first speaker. File yours here: we date it, check it against everything already on the record, and give you a public page anyone can cite.
While the register opens, the first 10 filings are free; 10 of those remain.
People can be wrong without trying to cheat. The system has to catch both honest misses and bad-faith copycats, then leave a trail for reviewers.
We check for exact and near matches before an origin record can even start.
If an older source appears, reviewers compare the timeline instead of guessing.
Every verification page takes older links, corrected wording, and missing context.
A good-faith origin claim can become an attribution or archive record. Bad-faith claims can be hidden.
Every accepted line gets a dated entry and a public verification page, with the wording and its context preserved.
A new record is read before it is treated as a fresh origin. That is what keeps the record worth trusting.
Each entry is written to be found: a citable answer to who said the line and where it first appeared.
