Trazi is an independent publication about personal audits, rankings, memory projects, and observation-led essays.
The premise is simple: vague impressions become more useful when the method is visible. Instead of saying “I own too much stuff,” an audit can define what counts as unused, move room by room, record the pattern, and explain what the count does — and does not — prove. Instead of declaring one park bench “better,” a rating can publish the criteria so readers can understand the judgment and try the exercise themselves.
What we publish
Most Trazi pieces fall into one of four formats:
- Personal audits — inventories, logs, counts and retrospectives built from the writer’s own experience.
- Rankings with a stated rubric — subjective comparisons where the criteria matter as much as the final order.
- Memory and oral-history projects — reconstructions, family traditions and place-based observations where uncertainty is kept visible.
- Explainers connected to the same interests — occasional reported or sourced pieces, such as reading communities, where checkable claims are linked to a primary or credible source.
How personal material is handled
First-person essays are personal narratives, not scientific studies. Counts based on private notes, recollection, browser history, family interviews or an individual rating system are not automatically representative of other people. We aim to make that limitation clear instead of dressing a personal experience up as universal research.
Some identifying details may be generalized or omitted when publishing them would unnecessarily expose relatives, coworkers, neighbors or other private people. That kind of privacy edit should not change the central point of the story.
Editorial standards
Checkable factual claims are reviewed against a primary or credible source when one is available. Personal recollection is labelled through context as personal recollection. Rankings explain the basis of comparison. Material changes and substantive factual errors can be corrected.
Digital tools may assist with editing, organization or technical checks, but they do not replace editorial responsibility. We do not publish a page merely because a tool can generate it. The point of a Trazi article is the specific observation, method, record or useful framework it gives the reader.
Advertising and independence
Trazi may use advertising to support the cost of publishing. Advertising does not determine the conclusion of an essay, and paid or sponsored relationships should be disclosed when applicable. We do not design articles as empty containers for ads.
