# What Corey knows

Corey works from 39 researched knowledge packs built from 659 cited sources, not from general recall. 25 are optimised (researched and then put to work), 14 are researched (sources gathered and cited, not yet used in anger). Packs that are still a gap are never advertised.

This list is generated from Corey's own capability registry, so it cannot drift from what Corey actually knows.
