Evidence desk · provenance before posture

Inspect the evidence.

A source archive and a publication layer are not the same thing. Built To Resist preserves the reports that shaped the project, then edits reader-facing analysis against identifiable evidence. Better evidence can qualify the publication without rewriting the archive.

Evidence hierarchy

Integrity is not truth.

Hashes prove that a file has not changed. They do not prove that its claims are correct.

01 · Archive

Preserve the record.

Original reports remain unchanged as provenance records. Their language, legacy reference tokens, and production artifacts stay recoverable.

02 · Publication

Edit against evidence.

Reader-facing pages should identify sources, distinguish interpretation from record, and qualify archived material when stronger evidence requires it.

03 · Correction

Show the revision.

Substantive corrections belong in the edited layer and public changelog. The archival source remains preserved rather than silently rewritten.

Source-footprint audit

The analytical layer is now inspectable.

The 53 analytical/source report readers contain 3,823 external URL occurrences across 865 distinct linked domains. These are structural counts, not independent-source or quality scores.

Separately, 16 core report readers retain 1,323 unresolved archival reference markers, while 22 analytical reports retain research-session source tokens. Both states are disclosed rather than silently repaired.

Rule

Unresolved means unresolved.

Built To Resist does not attach a plausible-looking citation simply because it fits the claim. A reference is resolved only when the source can be identified and checked against the claim it is supposed to support.

Repeated reports or repeated claims are not counted as independent corroboration merely because they appear in multiple files.

Publication status

Know what you are reading.

Each layer carries a different evidentiary meaning.

LayerWhat it establishesWhat it does not establish
Archival reportWhat the preserved project source said at a particular point in time.That every claim is currently verified or correct.
Edited dossierA reader-facing synthesis with named sources and a review status.Universal consensus or permanent currentness.
ScenarioA structured stress test of a hypothetical pathway.A forecast or probability.
Current-law summaryA jurisdiction-specific summary checked against cited authority as of a stated date.That later legal changes are automatically captured.
Editorial responsibility

Built To Resist Research Desk is responsible for the edited publication layer. Automated language tools have contributed to drafting, synthesis, indexing, and site generation. That is disclosed as tooling—not represented as independent expert review.
