CITATIONS AND LIMITS
A strong claim should show what supports it—and what does not yet.
Citations, counterevidence, gaps, and methodological limits stay within the reading, not hidden in a disconnected appendix.

How do we write clearly without claiming more certainty than the material allows?

01 · CITATION
A reference must be findable again.
Each claim can point to a record, literal excerpt, document, and locator. The reader can verify the foundation without repeating the entire investigation.
- Literal excerpt
- Source and locator
- Related record
02 · COUNTEREVIDENCE
Material challenging a reading remains visible.
Competing accounts, incompatible documents, and missing evidence are not removed to produce a cleaner story.
- Divergent accounts
- Contradictory documents
- Review states
03 · LIMIT
The text states how far the evidence allows us to go.
A request does not confirm execution. A relationship does not confirm wrongdoing. Recurrence does not confirm causation. Limits are part of a sound reading.
- Explicit scope
- Documentary gaps
- Human decision
