Expanded from the combined source catalog on October 7, 2026: all six sheets and the 11 linked Gemini conversations were reconciled with the directory. Coverage of the 28 original Financial Markets chats was reviewed on October 6. Research-use descriptions reflect the collected source catalog; each entry separately identifies its review status.

Financial references include topic-guide sources, research sources and earlier citations. A reviewed status applies to the selected page and stated scope; it does not verify every claim or make its data current. Recorded references have not been independently reviewed for this catalog; historical references retain their stated period. General directory entries are research tools. A topic association is a research connection, not a claim of specialist coverage.
