Evidence Classification

Purpose

Classify every claim so agents and reviewers do not upgrade roadmap language into facts.

Classification Model

  VERIFIED:
    definition: supported_by_evidence

    definition: documented_not_verified
  ASSUMED:
    definition: unsupported_by_evidence
  RETIRED:
    definition: superseded
  PLANNED:
    definition: future_state

Evidence-First Rule

evidence_first:

    are_not_evidence
  proposed_fixes:
    are_not_implemented
  implemented_changes:
    are_not_verified
  verified_changes:
