Research and Pre-writing Hub | Sources, Timeline, Research Bible | Source Library | Fact Cards, Timeline Conflicts, Writer Research Bible

✦ Stop losing the good detail

You read the article, you found the perfect date, you wrote down the name of the tool the blacksmith used — and now it lives in four notebooks and a browser tab you already closed.

This hub gives your research one home, scores how much you can trust each source, and tells you plainly when you have read enough to start drafting.

An interactive HTML research and pre-writing dashboard for fiction writers — source library, credibility scoring, fact cards, a checked world timeline, research bible index, and a sensory detail bank.

✦ WHAT IS INSIDE

→ Source Library: every book, article, documentary and archive in one list, tagged by topic and story thread
→ Credibility Scorecard: rate each source on authority, bias, recency and corroboration, so weak claims never sneak into your manuscript
→ Question Tracker: park open questions instead of chasing them mid-scene, and close them out one by one
→ Fact Cards Vault: one fact, one card, one source attached — so you can always trace where a detail came from
→ Expert & Interview Log: who you contacted, what you asked, what they said, and what you still owe them
→ World Timeline: historical events, character ages and story beats along a single spine
→ Conflict Checker: catch the moment your character is nineteen in chapter two and twenty-six eight months later
→ Research Bible Index: the master map of your world file, so you find the entry instead of rewriting it
→ Terminology & Names: lock spellings, ranks, honorifics and invented terms before continuity drifts
→ Sensory Detail Bank: smells, textures, sounds and light, stored raw and ready to drop into a scene
→ Research Time Log: hours spent reading versus writing — and the moment reading became avoidance
→ Draft Readiness: a plain check of what is solid, what is thin, and whether chapter one can start now

✦ WHY THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT

→ **It does not just store research, it grades it.** Credibility scoring plus source-linked fact cards means every detail in your draft has a paper trail
→ **The timeline is checked, not just drawn.** Conflicts surface while they are still cheap to fix
→ **It has an exit.** The readiness section exists to end the research phase, not to extend it forever
→ **Sensory material gets its own vault,** because atmosphere is research too, and it is usually the first thing lost

✦ ABOUT THE READINESS CHECK

Seven conditions, and every one of them is stated on screen: at least eight sources filed, average credibility of 3.5 or higher, no open high-priority questions, at least ten fact cards, no timeline conflicts, every bible entry drafted, at least four senses covered.

No hidden formula, and nothing you cannot argue with. If your book needs twelve sources rather than eight, you will know — the criteria are visible, not buried.

It also refuses to flatter an empty project. A blank hub does not report that you have no open questions and no timeline conflicts as though those were achievements. Nothing counts as passed until there is something to pass.

✦ WHO IT IS FOR

→ Historical fiction writers juggling real dates and invented people
→ Fantasy and science fiction authors keeping an invented world consistent
→ Crime, medical and legal writers who need technical accuracy
→ Memoir and biography writers working from interviews and archives
→ NaNoWriMo planners and anyone who plots before drafting

✦ HOW IT WORKS

→ One HTML file that opens in any modern browser — desktop, laptop, tablet or phone
→ No account, no subscription, no internet connection needed. Ever, not just after download
→ Everything you type stays in your own browser, on your own device. Nothing is uploaded
→ Export a backup file any time, and import it on another computer — sources, fact cards and all
→ Six color themes and three interface languages (English, Português, Italiano)
→ A quiet, distraction-free layout you can move through freely
→ Saves as you type

✦ WHAT YOU RECEIVE

→ One interactive HTML dashboard with all twelve sections
→ An illustrated user guide with a suggested research workflow
→ Your license

✦ PLEASE NOTE

This is an interactive dashboard, not a printable planner — it is built to be used on screen.

Your work lives in the browser you open the file with, so use the same one each time, and export a backup before switching computers. Months of reading is a lot to keep in one place without a copy.

Instant digital download; nothing ships. For personal use — please do not resell, share or redistribute. Because downloads are instant, all sales are final, but message me if anything does not open correctly.

Do the research once. Find it again in seconds. Then go write the book.
