THE SIGNAL ATLAS
Every connection gets a grade.
A living map of direct crossovers, deliberate references, production reuse, casting overlap, and fan hypotheses—plus a rights-safe graph of Jeopardy! eras, formats, knowledge domains, tournaments, champion pathways, and official sources.
COMPREHENSIVE, NOT CARELESS
The study is versioned and rights-gated.
The official-history layer now separates eras, tournament families, dated editions, qualification paths, champions, category forms, and broad knowledge domains. Licensed episode and clue exports can later add frequency, wagering, gameplay, and cultural-trend analytics without republishing a copied clue archive.
SOURCE DISCIPLINE
No mystery meat data.
The atlas links every material claim to its source. Official pages are selected manually, not bulk-extracted. It does not scrape J! Archive or Sony, and it does not treat a public API mirror as permission to republish copyrighted clue text. Open entity data and owner-authorized exports stay separately identified.
