How to read the evidence

Confirmed

Information established by the controlling administrative record or an identified official record summarized within it.

Reported

A statement, recollection, or operational history in the record that has not yet been independently established.

Unresolved

A material question that remains open pending primary-source review.

Interim guidance

Temporary public or administrative guidance used while the underlying question remains unresolved.

These labels are deliberate. An assessment record, a recollection, a deed, a historical account, and a legal conclusion do not carry the same evidentiary function.
