Checklist
Evidence and Source Quality Checklist
A short protocol for grading the sources behind a claim: provenance, independence, recency, and reproducibility.

Governance debates rarely fail on logic. They fail on unexamined inputs.
The protocol grades sources, never conclusions.
Preview
Grading dimensions
- Provenance: can you reach the primary source in two clicks?
- Independence: does the source benefit from the claim?
- Recency: is the data still valid for the current parameters?
- Reproducibility: could a third party recompute the figure?
- Completeness: what was excluded, and was the exclusion stated?
