How evidence is classified
Documented
Authenticated primary material or comparably strong evidence.
Independently Reported
Identifiable published reporting; the underlying event may still depend on attributed or anonymous sources.
Corroborated
Multiple meaningfully independent lines of evidence, not translations or syndicated copies.
Unverified
A supplied document or attributed claim whose underlying truth is not established.
Disputed
Credible sources materially disagree; ordinary changes over time do not qualify.
Research Lead
An unresolved question, not an established relationship.

A visual edge means only its labeled relationship. Placement never implies guilt, financial ownership, coordination or a payment. Syndicated copies and supplied translations are not independent corroboration.
