5. Verification caveats
- Corroboration counts independent evidence lineages; copies of one wire story or one statement count once.
- Event, location, casualty and attribution confidence are separate dimensions; approval by a reviewer does not make an event verified.
- Incidents at region or zone precision are placed at the unit centre on maps.
- Coverage depends on connected sources; absence of an incident is not evidence of absence.
- Boundaries follow the pre-2018 administrative configuration; disputed control is never resolved by the platform.
