> What promises did the Cuban government make about housing between 2015 and 2025?

87 claims about housing. Three mark the arc:
"30,000 homes will be built each year until the housing deficit is eliminated."
"The programme guarantees 30,000 homes this year The programme proceeds in phases"
No mention of the annual housing target.

The problem
In Cuba, the author of the public record is also its only librarian.
The state press is the sole documentary record of what the government has said — and the state keeps editorial control of that record after publication: articles silently edited, figures rewritten, commitments deleted.
Tracing a single claim takes days, often weeks, on Google or ChatGPT, which only search what happens to be online today. The removed article, the edited claim, the rewritten figure never surface. Most investigations die there.

A creator who needs today's video idea just types:
> Give me the 5 most outlandish promises the revolution published in the last 10 years — and what happened to each one.
Thirty seconds later: five dated quotes from the state's own pages, what the same press said afterward — or the silence that followed. What used to be a week in an archive is now the caption of a TikTok.
One claim, thirty seconds — any claim, any year.
Why this has to start today
Forward
An edit can only be caught if the "before" was already captured. Every article published tomorrow without capture is a version lost the moment it changes. Custody has no retroactive mode.
Backward
What is still online today is the largest the recoverable past will ever be. What can be harvested next month is strictly less — and nobody can say what disappeared in between.
Roadmap
What is running, and what comes next
How do we know this can be built?
The hard part is already running.
A system listens to 28 Cuban state outlets. Every article is captured within minutes of publication, hashed, and re-checked on a schedule for silent edits.
Don't take our word for it: open Signals, pick any outlet, and put its website beside your phone. Articles arrive minutes after they're published — and they keep arriving.
