An assessment of a source’s access, record, expertise, motive, bias, validation, and limitations, kept separate from whether one particular claim is likely true.
Evaluates the source’s demonstrated reporting history separately from whether one particular claim is plausible, corroborated, current, and within that source’s access.
A practical model for recording one proposition, its evidence, procedural state, uncertainty, affected routes, and reopening conditions without collapsing the whole story into one verdict.
How well a specific item of information is supported, plausible, internally consistent, and corroborated. It differs from source reliability.
A version-bound record for a specialist’s scoped conclusion, evidence reviewed, limitations, dissent, correction requirements, authority limits, and the conditions that would require a future review.
A server-authoritative evidence model in which observations, reports, assumptions, judgments, decisions, and unknowns never collapse into one truth value.
Balanced, high-level explanations of HUMINT, SIGINT, COMINT, ELINT, OSINT, GEOINT/IMINT, MASINT, FININT, CYBINT, TECHINT, and all-source fusion.

Rate source reliability separately from the credibility of the current information and show the path to knowledge.
A claim-specific packet structure that binds one proposition to its evidence origins, known gaps, review questions, rights implications, affected routes, assignment scope, and correction triggers.
