What this is

A deterministic four-stage forensic pipeline over a WordPress newsroom corpus. It produces statistical and documentary signals — change-points in stylometric features, embedding drift, convergence to an “AI baseline” — that reviewers can inspect, reproduce, and audit. The outputs are signals, not legal findings or definitive attribution of authorship or tool use.

Architecture Pipeline design, stage contracts, storage architecture, and data models.

Runbook Operational quick reference, debug commands, and environment setup.

CLI reference Auto-generated reference for every `forensics` command and subcommand.

Decision records Architecture decision records covering methodology, storage, and governance.

Forensic report

Bound report

The full Quarto-rendered forensic report ships at /report/index.html on this site (entry point for the Quarto book under public/report/). It contains the evidence, statistical results, and conclusions for the Mediaite.com investigation. Source notebooks live under notebooks/ and are governed by _quarto.yml.

Responsible use

This project quantifies stylistic and structural shifts in published text. It does not identify the author of a piece, prove the use of a specific tool, or render a legal verdict. Reviewers should pair every reported signal with domain context, editorial records, and corroborating evidence before drawing conclusions.
