EVIDENCE HUNTER.
This page turns open claims and weak areas into evidence tasks. The aim is to prove, qualify, downgrade, or discard claims by finding public records.
Evidence boundary: An evidence task is not a conclusion. It is a request for records.
Priority tasks
- Attach people to institutions: official role pages, board records, filings, biographies, foundation pages.
- Trace policy to implementation: legal texts, public consultations, vendor contracts, regulator guidance, roadmaps.
- Trace reports to policy: think tank reports, funder disclosures, citations in law, meeting calendars.
- Trace jurisdiction routes: registries, court filings, tax rules, treaty texts, ownership records.
- Review open questions: find the primary source or mark the claim as unresolved.
Evidence grade
- Grade 1 — lead or claim only
- Grade 2 — reliable report with source trail
- Grade 3 — official page, filing, annual report or public record
- Grade 4 — court, regulator, treaty, procurement or implementation record
- Grade 5 — multiple independent primary records
