Limitations (3)

WAE-LIM-2026-060[access-limitation]
The primary artifacts behind this record (Account Overview screenshots and native content exports) are referenced evidence: their registered source IDs, periods, and evidence classes are documented in the registry, but most artifact bytes have not been retrieved into the kernel.
WAE-LIM-2026-061[methodological-caveat]
This record verifies what the committed registry documents for the brand, not an independent byte-level re-derivation of every underlying platform reading.
WAE-LIM-2026-062[methodological-caveat]
The recorded per-platform breakdown (Facebook 2,771,956; Instagram 24,076,175) does not match the screenshot captions in the same registry record (Facebook 24,818,624; Instagram 2,029,507). Both pairs sum to the same brand total of 26,848,131, so the total reconciles exactly, but the per-platform attribution is internally inconsistent in the registry and is disclosed as such. The registry also records 2,029,507 — the Secret Animal Cams brand total — as this brand’s Instagram caption value, a suspected cross-brand data-entry collision that does not affect either brand total.

HOW TO READ THIS RECORD

Every claim in the WAE Evidence Kernel renders as a six-stage Evidence Trace. A stage is OBSERVED only when an activity connected to this claim's evidence graph materializes it; otherwise it is shown as NOT ESTABLISHED. A record may carry the status VERIFIED only when the kernel's verification invariant holds: a complete, passed verification chain over eligible real evidence. The public status you see is derived from the canonical record — the page cannot change it.

VALIDATION IS NOT VERIFICATION

Validation checks whether data and processes satisfy defined technical rules (checksum equality, structure, missingness). Verification evaluates whether validated evidence supports a specific claim under an explicit method. Both appear as stages; only verification can resolve a claim.

LIMITATIONS ARE PART OF THE RECORD

Limitations are not footnotes to be minimized. They bound what the record can be used to say. If a limitation scopes the claim, the scoping is part of the truth.
