The Publast publishing method
The method starts by refusing to separate presentation from evidence. A civic explainer should make its structure visible: the issue being explained, the record being used, the terms that need care, and the practical consequence for a reader. This is why Publast pages favor precise headings, visible publication dates, plain summaries, and complete body text over decorative interaction.
The second layer is machine readability. A public article should not rely on a crawler guessing which date matters or whether a paragraph is hidden behind a client-only interface. Publast article pages are designed to expose canonical URLs, article metadata, OpenGraph fields, Twitter cards, and Article JSON-LD that matches the visible content.
The final layer is editorial restraint. The institute publishes with enough force to make knowledge travel, but keeps the page accountable to source trails and context. That is the meaning of Publast: publishing that can move quickly across the network without blasting away the record beneath it.
