Evidence vs statement

Build a strong case without upgrading a report into verified fact.

Primary source
Redacted evidence — “User statement”

What this source supports: The source explicitly separates observed material from user-provided claims.

The simple layer stands alone; open the technical layer for limits and objections.

The big idea

By the end, you can
  • Classify evidence, statement, and inference
  • Use proportionate language
  • Avoid unsupported certainty

The 90-day message was reproduced by the agent. The July 28 reset message was supplied by the user and needs a screenshot. The claim that the purchased lot remains unused is also a user statement, not an independent ledger reading.

Think of it as… a board with three columns: document, testimony, and hypothesis. Moving cards between columns does not create proof; it only hides uncertainty.

Under the hood

Evidence discipline uses different verbs: “shows” for direct observation, “states” for a report, and “suggests” for inference. A request can be firm while still demanding internal verification.

In practice

This record turns the reasoning into verifiable fields without personal identifiers.

Structured case record 
{
  "claim": "purchased lot unused",
  "classification": "user_statement",
  "verification_needed": "internal_ledger",
  "safe_verb": "states"
}

Commit before reveal

Which verb fits the claim that none of the 5,000 credits were consumed?

“The user states.” Without a visible ledger, “it is proven” would overclaim.
Commit before revealEvidence↻
Reveal answerA reproducible observation in a document or interface.
Commit before revealStatement↻
Reveal answerA relevant report that still needs confirmation.
Commit before revealInference↻
Reveal answerA reasonable conclusion that depends on premises.
Active review

Answer both questions; the score updates automatically.

The reset message is currently:
The user supplied it and a screenshot is still needed; the 90-day message was reproduced.
What does July 4 usage prove?
Activity is recorded; wallet origin remains missing.
