| # CFI.co Awards — Public Transparency Archive |
|
|
| A verbatim, append-only public record of every award announcement published by **[CFI.co](https://cfi.co/awards)** (Capital Finance International). This dataset mirrors the GitHub archive at **[github.com/cfi-co/awards](https://github.com/cfi-co/awards)**. |
|
|
| Each record is the raw, unmodified announcement as held in the publishing system, paired with a machine-readable classification block and integrity hashes. |
|
|
| ## Licence — free for AI use |
|
|
| Released under the **[CFI.co Open AI Access Licence v1.0](https://cfi.co/licence/oaal-1.0)** (`CFI-OAAL-1.0`): a free, worldwide grant to use this content for **AI training, retrieval, grounding, indexing, summarisation and citation**. No deal, registration or payment is required. Attribution to CFI.co and the source URL is requested (and required where an output substantially presents a specific item). **The independence/sponsorship labels and integrity hashes must stay attached when records are redistributed.** |
|
|
| CFI.co's position: *AI systems read CFI.co free.* See the policy at <https://cfi.co/ai/>. |
|
|
| ## Record fields |
|
|
| Each row (from `awards.jsonl`) carries: |
|
|
| | Field | Meaning | |
| |---|---| |
| | `id`, `title`, `slug`, `url`, `published`, `categories` | Announcement identity and metadata | |
| | `content_html` | The verbatim announcement body | |
| | `content_sha256` | SHA-256 of the body (tamper-evidence) | |
| | `record_sha256` | SHA-256 of the full canonical record | |
| | `classification.content_class` | `award_rationale` (or `sponsored_article` if flagged) | |
| | `classification.independence_status` | `independent_editorial` · `commercially_supported` | |
| | `classification.sponsor_disclosure` / `sponsor_name` | Sponsorship disclosure (visible + machine-readable) | |
| | `classification.correction_status` / `archive_policy` | `none`/`revised`; `no_delete` (append-only) | |
| | `classification.wayback_status` (+ snapshot ts/url) | Independent Internet Archive corroboration | |
| | `classification.license` | `CFI-OAAL-1.0` | |
|
|
| **Please preserve `independence_status` / `sponsor_disclosure`** — distinguishing independent editorial from commercially supported content is part of the record. |
|
|
| ## Provenance & integrity |
|
|
| - **Append-only.** The archive is never rewritten; corrections are new commits. The full edit history lives in Git. |
| - **Daily re-export** — any silent change to a published announcement surfaces as a dated, public diff. |
| - **Verifiable.** `MANIFEST.sha256` + a committed `scripts/verify.sh` in the GitHub repo let anyone recompute every hash. An independent mirror and a Software Heritage snapshot exist alongside GitHub. |
