The Method

Every significant claim in this project — in the book and here — is held at one of five confidence levels while it’s being investigated: Documented, Established, Family Memory, Hypothesis, or Unsolved.

None of them are allowed to climb to a cleaner category just because the story would read better that way. A family memory doesn’t silently become an established fact. A hypothesis doesn’t silently become proof. Where something is genuinely unknown, this project says so plainly.

Mystery is allowed here. Fabrication is not.

Full breakdown: the evidence system.
