01 / THE PROJECT INDEXREAL MACHINES. TRACEABLE FACTS.

Moments · Machines · Megaprojects · Futures · People. These overlapping editorial lenses suggest stories to develop. “Futures” identifies a possible future-facing treatment, not a claim that the project is complete; “People” marks an opportunity to profile its builders.

Costs retain their original currencies and scopes. Cost sorting groups currencies, then sorts amounts; unverified amounts come last. Timeline sorting uses each record’s first dated milestone, not its predicted completion.
