Evidence-labeled claim
Independent reports are evidence inputs, not automatic project consensus
This page is a compact epistemic record: what is being claimed, what kind of claim it is, how strong the current evidence is, which research supports or challenges it, and what would justify changing the assessment.
IC-CLAIM-011 editorial policy verified project policy adopted policy
Scope and boundary
The policy applies to all independently generated dossiers in the research corpus.
Why it matters
The research program intentionally includes evidence audits, red-team attacks, conflicting crawler/licensing recommendations, and source-quality caveats.
Strongest objection
Readers may prefer a single editorial conclusion, but premature reconciliation would erase uncertainty and disagreement that the research program is designed to expose.
What would change this assessment
A deliberate editorial-policy decision superseding DEC-003.
Project decision relationship
This claim records an adopted project rule under DEC-003. That decision status is separate from the truth status of external factual propositions.

Reviewed document-level source notes
External provenance and reporting methods clarify the distinction between recorded lineage, documented review and substantive appraisal. They do not prove a source true or enact editorial adoption. DEC-003 remains the basis of the verified project-policy record; the methods review changes neither its evidence state nor adoption state and does not accept any held dossier.
PROV-O: The PROV Ontology
provenance standard nonbinding methodological reference World Wide Web Consortium
What it establishes: Defines a vocabulary for representing provenance entities, activities, agents and their relations.
Important limitation: Conforming assertions do not prove their history true, establish substantive source reliability, or enact a project editorial policy. This external method document does not establish that Intelligence Compact adopted DEC-003, nor that any held report is ready for publication.
PROV-DM: The PROV Data Model
provenance standard nonbinding methodological reference World Wide Web Consortium
What it establishes: The conceptual provenance model is application and technology independent and separates derivation from mere co-use.
Important limitation: A compatible local representation still requires explicit semantics and validation; technology independence does not certify arbitrary JSON as PROV-conformant. This external method document does not establish that Intelligence Compact adopted DEC-003, nor that any held report is ready for publication.
PRISMA-ScR Checklist
reporting checklist nonbinding methodological reference PRISMA
What it establishes: A scoping-review reporting checklist separates reproducible reporting, charting and optional critical appraisal.
Important limitation: Filling fields does not establish that retrieval, critical appraisal or independent replication occurred. The hosted filename is not assigned as a publication date. This external method document does not establish that Intelligence Compact adopted DEC-003, nor that any held report is ready for publication.
