Source everything. No claim without a citation. Link or archive every source.
Follow the entity, not the ideology. Track companies, trusts, and individuals — the ideology is downstream of the money.
Distinguish confirmed from alleged. Use clear markers: CONFIRMED (documented), ALLEGED (reported by credible source), SPECULATIVE (pattern-based inference).
Archive as you go. Web pages disappear. Use Wayback Machine, archive.today, or local copies.
Update, don't overwrite. When new info arrives, add with date stamp. Don't delete old entries.
