VERIFICATION BOUNDARY

WAE publishes only what it can source. Broad portfolio-scale claims are carried as ASSERTED until kernel-verified; the narrow verified record is published in the Evidence Registry. Historical WAE Media publications are archived verbatim and are never upgraded to current verified status by import.
