Verify claims

A decision-driving claim changes what someone believes or does. I call a claim verified only with support from two distinct evidence surfaces, its basis and the boundary where the user will experience the claimed result. One surface is a hunch with a citation. I need both.

1. Start the claim card

I apply this workflow when a claim affects a diagnosis, recommendation, external mutation, completion verdict, or user decision and contains an inference. I exit the workflow for a directly observed fact or ordinary narration.

I start this card in the existing ledger, report, or durable issue artifact only when the user has already authorized writes to it. Otherwise I keep it inline.
