Source catalog

Each source catalog record includes:

slug
name
owner
source type
URL
license
products
cadence
geography
expected latency
retention
parser version
enabled
health

Initial source categories include:

Source Purpose
NOAA MRMS Primary radar-derived hail intelligence
NWS Alerts Watches, warnings, advisories, and related products
SPC Convective forecasts and preliminary severe-weather reports
NEXRAD Radar-level detail, research, and historical support
NCEI Storm Events Historical reconciliation
Census TIGER/Line Public geographic boundaries
Property provider Licensed property intelligence; provider not selected
Contact provider Licensed contact enrichment; provider not selected

Algorithm catalog

Every production algorithm records:

id
name
version
status
input contract
output contract
released at
retired at
owner
change notes
fixture set

Potential algorithms include event detection and correlation, boundary derivation, confidence, property exposure, damage likelihood, opportunity, eligibility, action planning, and attribution.

Permission catalog

Suggested permission groups include:

storm.*
weather.*
property.*
monitor.*
alert.*
field.*
crm.*
campaign.*
report.*
integration.*
admin.*

The product enumerates permissions instead of hiding them in ad hoc role checks.

Event catalog

Each domain event defines its name, version, producer, consumer expectations, payload, ordering assumptions, idempotency, retention, and personally identifiable information classification.

Limits

The reference eventually documents API rate, export, map result, file size, report, campaign, monitoring, retention, and provider-specific limits.

StormTrust does not publish a limit until implementation or an upstream dependency makes it real.
