The woods file reports. We check them.
Cryptid Field Station turns hiker sightings into a verified field guide. Every report runs an AI credibility check plus a weather cross-check, then a human ranger approves it through the same workflow — all stored as structured content in Sanity.

How a report becomes canon
1 · ReportA hiker files a sighting with story, location, and evidence.
2 · Agent checksAn AI editor scores credibility (Gemini, or a heuristic stand-in); Open-Meteo pulls the actual sky that night.
3 · Ranger reviewA human verifies or rejects through the same transitions the agent uses.
4 · Field guidePublished sightings join the cryptid entry, with the full audit trail attached.
