Travel-relevant question: does Grand Lodge A recognize Grand Lodge B, and as of when? Recognition ≠ charter ≠ lineage ≠ meets-at ≠ “X declares clandestine.” We do not award regularity. Excerpts + links only.
Lodge catalog
Craft lodges and appendant bodies from public directories. Default sort is public-web footprint — published pages, not membership. Directory-only lodges (especially PHA) can still be large; distrust a low or unknown rank. Open/close dates stay unknown unless a proceedings lifecycle event exists. Bodies without geocode still list here; pins only appear on the map.
How this rank is derived
Public-web footprint, formula v1.1. We do not have membership numbers. Directory-only lodges (common in PHA) can still be huge. Pin size and this rank measure published web evidence, not brothers in the room. Wikipedia and Reddit never count as an official site.
18 Live own official website (dead / NXDOMAIN / parked URLs kept but score 0)
6 Facebook/Instagram listed as the lodge website
≤12 Pages absorbed, log₂ (wiki/Reddit count at 0.25×)
≤8 Distinct non-locator hosts
≤8 Social accounts
6+2 HTTP 200 on own official site + any site-like 200 (directory HEAD ignored)
6/3/1 Site-like last_verified ≤60d / ≤180d / ever
≤10 Public description corpus (locator excerpts at 0.25×)
≤6 Officers listed on a public page
6 Meeting schedule published
8/3/2 Geocoded physical/meeting hall / hall without geom / mailing + geom
≤4 Parent GL membership prior — only a sourced MSANA or official stat, labeled separately
Bands: high (≥40) — own site plus several live signals; med (22–39) — usually an official site; low (12–21) — schedule / hall / thin site; unknown (<12) — directory listing only. Parent GL membership is a weak prior only when a sourced MSANA or official statistic exists; none in the corpus today.
