Evidence completeness
A claim is flagged as missing evidence if either the source reference or supporting excerpt is blank. This checks presence, not relevance, authenticity or truth.
Status definitions
Source Needed: obtain evidence. Needs Review: a person needs to assess the claim. Supported: the user considers the evidence supportive. Approved: the user records an approval intention. Do Not Publish: exclude the claim.
Readiness rule
A claim meets the local workflow checklist only when it is marked Approved and has a source reference, excerpt, source date and owner. That does not establish factual accuracy, legal compliance or permission to publish.
No authenticated approvals
Anyone using this browser can edit statuses and owner names. There are no signed approvals, identity checks, team permissions or audit logs.
Independent review remains necessary
Check source quality, currency, context, conflicting evidence, wording, permissions and applicable professional requirements.
