Methodology and evidence

From source to judgment.

Observations, derived metrics and assessments have different roles. Inspect the record before interpreting its significance.

Read the methodology

Preserve the source

Source views distinguish original excerpts from translations and record acquisition time and version.

Trace the evidence

Published products connect judgments to citations. Shared source origins do not establish independent corroboration.

Keep uncertainty visible

Missing reports, unresolved geography and unpublished assessments remain explicit.
