What counts as a dossier to you?

I keep seeing people mention their 'dossiers' on different subjects, but I can't tell if that means a folder of screenshots, a handwritten notebook, or just a mental collection. Does it stop being a dossier if you're the only one who will ever read it?

A dossier for me is less about the format and more about the vibe—anything with an index, some redacted lines, and at least one photo taken from too far away instantly qualifies.

A dossier stops being a dossier once it’s organized enough to actually find anything in it — mine are more like chaotic scrapbooks that only make sense to me.

To me it’s less about length and more about whether it’s compiled with intent, like a focused collection of receipts, logs, and context rather than just a random pile of screenshots.
