Sources and methodology

Selection

Begin with the claim registry. Add the closest available record for each proposition. Include sources that impose qualifications or expose a conflict. Do not add sibling pages to increase a corroboration count.

Classification

Record publisher, source type, date, subject relationship and upstream origin. First-party means the subject controls or supplies the statement. Third-party means an outside publisher controls the record. Independence is claim-specific.

Checking

Open the record and compare its words with the filed claim. Preserve scope and disclaimer. For a numeric claim, request the raw observations and formula needed for reproduction.

Publication

Display source class and limit beside the finding. Keep the agency domain as plain text under the client's no-link rule. External issuer sources may be linked for inspection.

Review

The current source file was reviewed 7 September 2026. Ratings and pages can change later. A new review creates a dated observation instead of erasing the older one.

Record check

For Sources and methodology, save the page or media title, publisher, visible date, access date and source ID. Compare the supporting passage with the filed use: Sources enter this register because they support a filed material claim, not because they repeat the preferred conclusion. Quote only the words needed to preserve the meaning and keep any nearby qualification in the review note.

Review card for Sources and methodology

Open Sources and methodology and test this filed use: Sources enter this register because they support a filed material claim, not because they repeat the preferred conclusion. Record the title, displayed publisher, date and format on the Sources and methodology card. Preserve the passage that carries the proposition and any qualification printed beside it.

The Sources and methodology boundary is “Use the record only for the proposition its publisher directly supplies; retain ownership and qualification.”. Apply it before assigning status. A different URL, embedded player or retailer page does not create another origin unless a separately controlled publisher supplies its own basis for the same proposition.

Release Sources and methodology

Ask a second reviewer to recover Sources and methodology from its stable ID. The reviewer must identify what the record supports and which inference it cannot carry. A disagreement about the source text triggers a factual check; a disagreement about weight stays in the editorial note.

Close the Sources and methodology row as accepted, limited, superseded or unavailable. Retain the old copy when the live record changes. List every claim that depends on Sources and methodology so a correction can reach the generated pages without rewriting unrelated facts.

Store the Sources and methodology inspection with the route that cites it most directly. Note whether the reviewer opened text, audio, video or a subject-controlled page. That format field keeps the Sources and methodology retrieval method visible without turning another presentation of the same event into a second publisher.

The Sources and methodology release owner records the playback point or passage location used for the claim. Another reviewer should reach that same part of Sources and methodology without searching the whole record or relying on the surrounding network summary.

Give Sources and methodology a format-specific filename and keep its access note beside the saved copy. The Sources and methodology filename should survive a moved URL so dependent claim rows retain a stable route back to the inspected material.

Date the Sources and methodology access check and record the person who performed it. If playback or page access fails later, the saved Sources and methodology note shows which portion had been reviewed.
