Sources & materials

The kinds of documentation we read.

FARI accepts ordinary documentation: timestamps, written notes, screenshots with private content removed, sketches of the room. The archive does not need dramatic proof to study repeated routines — in fact, dramatic proof tends to be the least useful kind.

RecordMaterialHow review uses it
E-11Desk photograph after keyboard contactConfirms layout and which keys were physically reachable from the corner the animal occupied.
E-14Hand-drawn floor plan of a one-bedroom apartmentLets a second reader picture distance between animal, person, device, and routine site.
E-18Voice-assistant activity summary with account details removedPlaces timer commands near household routine without exposing the underlying export.
E-22Written log of meal times over ten daysSupports routine-cue cases where the “trigger” is really a time-of-day pattern.
E-24Observer diary covering five workdaysSupports repeatability review; the desk treats the diary as the canonical text.
E-27Short photo essay of the same shelf at different times of dayHelps rule out human attention as a confound for warm-device cases.
E-29Router temperature note and a shelf photographKeeps a case in the heat-seeking category when the observer has measured the surface.
E-33Two-week timing log of the same chairUseful for vacant-room return cases where presence and warmth are easy to confuse.
E-36Written description of a printer’s ambient warmthAllows a follow-up reclassification when an observer realizes a device is warmer than expected.
E-40Brief sketch of a hallway with door positionsSupports transit-anticipation entries where the path matters more than the moment.
E-43Notes on lighting changes after a new lamp arrivedFrequently overlooked confound for warm-device reports.
Handling standard. Public entries describe materials without publishing private files. Original recordings, exports, and photographs stay with the observer unless they ask the desk to retain a redacted copy.
What we will not accept

Hidden recordings

The archive does not read material that depended on hiding a microphone or camera from people sharing the room. This includes covert recordings of household members or guests.

Distress footage

If the animal is visibly fearful, injured, or in pain, the desk replies with veterinary referrals. We do not log the event.

Identifying detail

Faces, name tags, address shots, window views, family names, and account screenshots get returned to the sender with a redaction guide.
