Directly supported by a record, recording, source document, or named account.
DOCUMENTEDMethodology
FOCUS ON THE FACTS.
Every material claim should be tied to a public record, recording, official correspondence, or clearly identified first-person account.
Question
A question raised by the record is not presented as proof of misconduct.
QUESTIONUnknown
If the available record does not establish something, the site should say that instead of filling the gap with assumption.
UNKNOWNCredit where supported
Where the record supports credit, the project should give it. Acknowledging what was done correctly makes the remaining disputes easier to evaluate fairly.
Ask who supplied a statement, when, what the recording shows, what supervision reviewed, and exactly what reached the prosecutor.
