Gap

Not a claim at all — the opposite. The run states a hole in the record: a figure nobody publishes, a party that would not comment, a document that blocks automated access. It is listed because knowing what could not be established is part of the finding, and because a gap left silent reads as a subject with nothing to say.

The definition the product enforces, read from the same code the methodology page renders.

How to read it

When Gap appears on a page

Not a claim. The scan is telling you what it could not establish: a figure nobody publishes, a party that would not comment, a document that blocks automated access. A gap left unsaid reads as a subject with nothing to say, which is why the page prints it.

Evidence grades

The grade every claim on a research page carries: how it is known, not how confident it sounds. Assigned by the same rules on every scan; the rollup numbers are computed from the graded rows.

VerifiedCorroborated against an outside source, and that source is linked.GroundedCame from material the scan actually read, with a named source.PartialSome support, not enough to call it settled.ContestedSources disagree, or the record contradicts it.UnverifiedAsserted in the material, with nothing behind it.Your inputYou supplied it. The scan took it as given.TrainingFrom the model's prior knowledge, not from anything fetched.From the recordPresent in the material with no provenance attached.
