# Story Brief: We Had the Data All Along

## Core Premise

How we returned to Chance Brothers factory records with AI and turned an old source into a traceable research layer.

## Story Shape

- Opening: identify the light, place, or object that anchors the story.
- Context: explain why the selected lights/assets are connected.
- Evidence: show the dated claims, source evidence, and unresolved gaps.
- Visual thread: use maps, timelines, object movement, and approved media only.
- Closing: state what remains to be reviewed.

## Warnings

- No warnings.
