Fictional structural fixture · no real sources or identifiers

A source can enter review without entering the evidence base.

This demonstration separates discovery, identity, classification, transcription, deduplication, and editorial routing before any source could inform a claim.

Intake path

Five gates keep discovery from becoming evidence.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Record a lead and its channel.

  2. 02

    Classify

    Name the source class without rating it.

  3. 03

    Normalize

    Prepare a fixture identifier for matching.

  4. 04

    Deduplicate

    Preserve exact, ambiguous, and no-match outcomes.

  5. 05

    Route

    Send the record to human review.

Source classes

A class describes provenance, not credibility.

Primary records

Paper, registry, and regulator metadata retain their own limitations.

Organization material

Can establish what an organization says, not whether it is true.

Secondary context

Can orient reporting while primary support remains separate.

Social discovery

Can trigger investigation and can never independently support a medical claim.

Append-only history

Review adds events; it does not erase observations.

  1. ObservedFixture lead recorded with discovery channel.
  2. Duplicate candidateNormalized fixture identity matched an existing record.
  3. Needs reviewA human reason is retained before any downstream use.

Honest states

Missing and unresolved values stay visible.

New

Not yet matched.

Duplicate

Possible repeated identity.

Ambiguous

More than one candidate.

No match

No canonical identity found.

Unavailable

Cannot currently be checked.

Stale

A dated recheck is due.

Corrected

Earlier identity stays in history.

Rejected

Not promoted downstream.
