The Nine Pillars
Each pillar is a deep investigation into one decision visitors have to make. Supporting articles drill into specific edge cases under each pillar.
Methodology
Every article in the program follows the same protocol: source aggregation, normalization, anomaly detection across four layers, manual cross-check, and publication only when the evidence threshold is met. We document the full methodology — what we measure, how we verify, what we exclude.

The Seoul Food Tour Research Corpus will be the evidence base behind every article in this program, aggregating publicly available data from independent sources into a single analysis-ready corpus. (TODO-SEOUL: en construcción.)
