Kill dataset registry
Every named dataset a resolution run could load to kill a conjecture — 164 instruments grouped under the corpus’s 34 kill-instrument families. Each instrument is a concrete, citable database or corpus (a proto-source, not yet a Source in the evidence chain); the family it belongs to is the facet you can already filter the list by.
Not yet built — 15 datasets that should exist
No adequate dataset exists yet for these kill tests. Each row below names what would need to be built or fielded, and which conjectures it would unlock the moment it existed.
