Claim Status Labels

• Verified: Strong primary evidence with clear attribution and no major unresolved contradiction.
• Partially Supported: Meaningful supporting evidence exists, but key attribution or scope is still incomplete.
• Unverified: Claim may be plausible, but current evidence is insufficient for factual assertion.
• Disputed: Credible evidence points in materially conflicting directions.

Source Tiers

• Tier 1 (Primary records): audited statements, regulator filings, court records, official disclosures.
• Tier 2 (Independent reporting): reputable reporting that cites underlying records and methods.
• Tier 3 (Stakeholder statements): trade group releases, company pages, board communications.
• Tier 4 (Signal channels): forums, social posts, anecdotal channels, unsourced commentary.

Minimum Threshold Rules

• Major financial claims are never marked Verified using Tier 4 alone.
• Numerical claims require visible source math or clear reconciliation path.
• When in doubt, we keep status lower and state what is missing.
• Corrections are dated and logged; we do not silently revise material claims.

Update Cadence

• Hot claims: reviewed weekly when evidence flow is active.
• Structural pages: reviewed monthly or when new primary records appear.
• Each major tracker includes a visible "last updated" date.
