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.

CENTRAL QUESTION

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

01Claim
02Citation
03Counterevidence
04Gap
05Limit
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.

  1. Literal excerpt
  2. Source and locator
  3. 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.

  1. Divergent accounts
  2. Contradictory documents
  3. 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.

  1. Explicit scope
  2. Documentary gaps
  3. Human decision
