Every claim needs
a visible trail.

One citation can support one claim. Repeated carefully, those links become a chain of accountability. Repeated carelessly, weak evidence scales into confident fiction.

READING KEY

EVIDENCE: this ledger shows which sources each brief cites. INFERENCE: a visible trail makes weak or repeated sourcing easier to detect. EDITORIAL VIEW: readers should be able to inspect the receipts without hunting through the archive. A link records provenance; it does not prove every sentence is correct.
