Not every source deserves a traveler widget.

This queue decides which catalog and support sources can move into observations, signals, and public tips. A source only gets promoted when it changes a real traveler subject and can be explained honestly.

Promotion gates

All required gates must pass before a source becomes a traveler-facing widget or changes tips scores.

requiredChanges a traveler subject

Could this source change where someone goes, stays, routes, ferries, eats, shops, or seeks help?

requiredAccess and automation are clear

Is access public or permissioned in a way we can honestly automate and label?

requiredCan produce timestamped observations

Can we store an observed_at or published_at value that is separate from fetch time?

requiredMaps to an existing signal

Does it map to a known signal such as air pollution, ferry fragility. Route friction, stay fit. Food-route confidence, or gold context?

requiredOwned by a subject family

Does a named subject family own the source output?

requiredExplainable in one sentence

Can the page say what this source proves and what it does not prove?

requiredPrivacy and safety boundaries are explicit

Does the source avoid private, dispatch, patient, case-level, or personally sensitive data?

These are the high-value Thailand source candidates from the source-gap work, with their current runtime role and next action.
