Frontier Radar — Living Documentation, Wiki and Developer Portal
Where the 2025/26 research frontier is moving, and where Nishi should test, deepen, or research next.
How this works. The nishi researcher banked the current (2024-2026) frontier for this domain over sovereign TLS (keyless OpenAlex/arXiv). For each capability axis this radar measures frontier momentum = how often the frontier corpus mentions it, times our organ presence (probed on disk). Absent + hot = a research opportunity / where to test. Corpus measured: 4729891 bytes. Generated by nx_swcompare_gapmap over a data-only domain spec (livingdocs.q + livingdocs.axes) — zero domain-specific code.
Top research opportunities (the 2025/26 frontier is active here and Nishi has no organ yet):
- GraphRAG over the doc graph — frontier momentum 50
- Executable and literate docs — frontier momentum 16
- Doc staleness and drift detection — frontier momentum 3
- LLM doc authoring assist — frontier momentum 3

frontier momentum is a mechanical keyword count over real 2024-2026 works: a keyword counts where a word starts, in any letter case, and each axis lists its per-keyword counts so a keyword that saturates is visible; our presence is probed on disk. A discovery signal, not a ranking of importance. Zero JS, zero trackers.
