Data Sources

Source And Freshness Matrix

WarpIntel separates official public EVE data, community public context, user-provided inputs, browser-local records, first-party operations data, optional AI inference, and future authorized EVE SSO data. This matrix explains what each lane is used for, how freshness should be treated, and what must stay private.

Official

EVE ESI Public Data

Current Use
Public identity, market, route, system, sovereignty, killmail, profile, and server-health context.
Freshness Rule
Fetched from documented public endpoints with bounded requests, provider cache respect, and visible source notes where data can be stale.
Public Visibility
Derived public facts and advisory summaries may appear on public pages.
Private Boundary
No OAuth tokens, private scopes, account identity, or corporation-only data belongs in public output.
Official

EVE Static Data Export

Current Use
Static item, blueprint, market group, map, PI, industry, dogma, and fitting reference data.
Freshness Rule
Versioned static-data refreshes should happen deliberately, with generated files treated as source-labeled references.
Public Visibility
Static names, categories, and calculated planning summaries may appear in public tools.
Private Boundary
Static reference data should not be mixed with private character skill or asset assumptions without consent.
Community

zKillboard Public Context

Current Use
Killmail enrichment, public combat profile summaries, loss context, and kill/loss reference links.
Freshness Rule
Used as supporting public context with caching discipline and human-review warnings.
Public Visibility
Public killmail and public profile context may appear when a user asks for it.
Private Boundary
Public killboard behavior is not proof of current intent, trust, membership, or private access rights.
Official

EVE Image Server

Current Use
Character portraits, corporation logos, alliance logos, and type renders where public-image use is allowed.
Freshness Rule
Images should be treated as public visual references and refreshed by provider URL behavior.
Public Visibility
Public images may appear beside public profile, corporation, alliance, or item context.
Private Boundary
Official EVE marks and imagery should not be combined into the WarpIntel logo or used to imply endorsement.
User-provided

User-Pasted Game Text

Current Use
Local chat, D-scan, fittings, killmail notes, item lists, PI notes, wormhole notes, watchlists, and questions.
Freshness Rule
Treated as the user's current evidence, with prompts to refresh time-sensitive intel before acting.
Public Visibility
Only the user's local browser output should show pasted content unless they explicitly save or submit a request.
Private Boundary
Raw pasted analyzer inputs are not stored in account reports or public analytics.
Browser-local

Browser-Local Records

Current Use
Local reports, fit comparisons, watchlists, plans, and import/export workflows before account save is enabled.
Freshness Rule
Freshness depends on the visitor's browser state and export/import choices.
Public Visibility
Browser-local records stay on the visitor's device and are not visible to other users.
Private Boundary
Local-only records should remain separate from server queues, ads, public screenshots, and shared logs.
First-party

First-Party Operations Data

Current Use
Route smoke checks, service readiness, support queues, manual review queues, pageview counts, and workflow clicks.
Freshness Rule
Protected ops views show the newest database-backed signals and public health exposes only safe aggregate readiness.
Public Visibility
Public health and status pages show sanitized readiness only.
Private Boundary
Raw IP addresses, raw user-agent strings, raw pasted inputs, provider secrets, and EVE tokens stay out of public analytics.
First-party

Optional AI Inference

Current Use
Optional explanation, summarization, and next-step suggestions after deterministic local analysis.
Freshness Rule
AI output is a current interpretation of supplied evidence, not a source of truth.
Public Visibility
Public tool output can show AI-assisted wording only when the feature is explicitly enabled.
Private Boundary
AI output must not expose hidden secrets, private EVE data, or provider credentials and cannot replace human review.
Future authorized

Future Authorized EVE SSO Data

Current Use
Character, corporation, alliance, fleet, wallet, industry, asset, and mail-adjacent features only after feature-specific consent.
Freshness Rule
Refresh cadence and expiry should be visible beside private dashboards when these features are enabled.
Public Visibility
Private authorized data should stay out of public pages, ads, screenshots, analytics, and logs.
Private Boundary
Every private scope should be consented to for a specific feature and revocable from the account dashboard.

No-Secret Source Rule

Source notes explain evidence and freshness, but never expose OAuth tokens, API keys, database URLs, provider secrets, or raw private EVE data.
