Material quality needs a measurement graph, not a shelf of facts
Useful material stats need traceability, uncertainty, lot context, and process capability attached before they become decision-grade.
source-note
Critical-material exposure is a quality signal before it is a procurement issue
Supply risk, substitution pressure, recovery options, and source concentration can affect material consistency before they show up as missing inventory.
workflow
Materials Project makes computed-property trails connector-ready
The useful future is not only reading material pages; it is querying structures, properties, and provenance fields as part of a quality evidence trail.
source-note
Aerospace material signals belong near inspection and aging data
NASA technology updates are useful source material because aerospace environments expose weak inspection coverage, durability evidence, and thermal-risk assumptions.
pattern
Bun-native React can start as a very small server
A useful v1 does not need a heavy framework: `Bun.serve`, React SSR, typed content, and a few public routes are enough to prove the shape.
workflow
RSS is still the cheapest useful connector
Before building OAuth dashboards and sync jobs, RSS/Atom feeds can turn trusted sources into a living source trail.
pattern
Start with public JSON before a private agent API
A public `/api/signals.json` endpoint gives the content a machine-readable contract without committing to auth, writes, or assistants yet.
source-note
Source trails beat bookmark piles
A good public note should show what it noticed, where it came from, and why it is worth returning to.
tool
Workflow maps are stronger than generic dashboards
The homepage should behave like a working desk: filters, latest items, sources, and topic routes, not a brand-first splash page.
