One shelf
The Resource Shelf
Everything Outpost teaches, in one place, with a straight answer about what each thing is for and who it is for. All of it works without an account, and most of it works without a connection.
The standard, first
Everything else on this shelf was built against this. It was written before the content, not after, which is the only part of it that could not have been added later.
Reading and stories
Reading comprehension runs on background knowledge, not on a transferable skill. So the reading shelf is deliberately wide: stories, primary documents, and the people behind them.
The Education Library
Anyone, at any level
Our own textbooks rather than links to somebody else's. Every claim wears one of five labels — established, contested, unknown, our reading, not yet researched — and the label decides what the claim is graded on. Nothing publishes below the floor on any dimension that matters, seven of the eight are computed from the record and cannot be flattered, and the eighth carries a person's name. No volume claims to be complete; every one lists what it does not cover.
The Story Shelf
Families, ages roughly 3 to 12
Public-domain children's classics, age-banded, with talk-about prompts. Honest context is enforced in code — a book of its time is introduced as a book of its time.
The Founders' Library
Teens and adults
Twenty public-domain primary texts — the founding documents and the voices that answered them: Douglass, Seneca Falls, Anthony, Banneker, Abigail Adams. Public-domain status is provable, and dissent is floored in code, not by editorial habit.
The Founder Files
Anyone
The people behind the documents, at a glance — what they actually did, what they actually owned, what they actually said.
Learning and practice
The curriculum and the games are one system. Every unit names the game that drills it, and every game exists because a unit needed it.
The Academy
Kids and adults, on separate tracks
Thirteen gate-reviewed units. Expandable, with reveal-answer retrieval checks and every claim shown with its source. Works offline, needs no account.
The Outpost Arcade
Kids 6–13 and teens/adults, separately
Twenty-five games on five engines. XP, mastery, badges, and opt-in private circles — no public leaderboard, ever.
The Assembly
Teens and adults
Argue against your own position, and practise speaking on a topic you did not choose. Structured, timed, with no scoreboard anywhere in it.
Home, health, and the people you're raising
Organized the same way the civics is: facts first, sources small, and the popular overstatements corrected rather than repeated.
For Parents
Parents and caregivers
What the research actually supports about early development, behavior, and learning at home — including two things parents are commonly told that do not hold up.
Choosing Well
Teens and adults
Dating, partnership, marriage, and family — compiled from the research, with two of the field's most-repeated claims corrected rather than passed along: attachment is dimensional, not four types, and the famous divorce-prediction numbers didn't survive cross-validation.
The Stillroom
Adults
Movement, food, sleep, stress, mindfulness, moving meditation, and the senses. Every source public domain; traditions named as traditions, never as medicine.
Checking things yourself
The point of everything above is that you stop needing us. These are the tools that make that possible.
The Transparency Toolkit
Anyone
Every major window the government is legally required to keep open — FOIA, inspectors general, USAspending, the Federal Register, campaign finance, the courts — with how to actually use each one.
The Library
Anyone
The reference shelf: the documents, the records, and the sources behind what this app says.
Oath & Record
Anyone
How we measure public officials — published before a single official has been rated, so the method can't be accused of being bent around a result.
What is not on this shelf yet
A full PreK–12 curriculum. It is the largest thing this project has ever set out to build and it is being staged grade band by grade band, against the standard at the top of this page rather than ahead of it. Nothing will appear here as “curriculum” until it clears that gate — an empty shelf is more honest than a full one nobody checked.
