Principle
When evidence is insufficient, the output is a research protocol—not a conclusion. Every material external claim and figure is tied to a source and verification status.
Claim statuses
- confirmed by a public source
- author-provided
- verification required
- hypothesis
- example
- calculated estimate
External review
- Internal fact-check
- Methodological review
- Industry review
- Legal review where required
- Disclosure and correction log
