Atlas / Evidence

The evidence ledger

11,380 verified · 493 flagged

Everything in the atlas traces back to here. 151 sealed sections, 11,873 claims, 3,953 citations. Open any section to read every claim in it.

How a claim is checked

Each claim names one citation. An independent pass re-fetched that source and either confirmed the value, corrected it, or flagged it because the source states no value. 76 were corrected that way and kept on the record.

What an anchor quote is

6,929 claims carry the exact line the verifier read, quoted from the document. 5,574 of those were confirmed at the source rather than taken from an earlier read.

Confidence, separately

10,323 claims cite a primary public record. 1,550 are relayed by a secondary source and are marked as such wherever they appear.
