How every piece of information in the AI Truth programme comes into being: from the claim, through source and status, to versioning. The core rule: the absence of proof is not a fact — it is a gap.
We do not convert missing information into a presumed fact. An item without a confirmed source is marked as a gap (GAP) and awaits proof, rather than entering the content as a claim.
Every piece of information in the programme carries exactly one of three statuses:
Confirmed. Information backed by verified evidence — a document, an authority's reply, a working source, or an artefact that can be pointed to and checked.
Dataset-based. Information derived from a documented dataset. We identify the source dataset; the values reflect its state as at the date of publication.
In preparation. An item that has been announced but does not yet have complete proof or a dataset. It is not presented as a fact until it is completed.
We formulate a precise claim — exactly what is to be demonstrated.
We attach evidence or a dataset: a document, an authority's reply, an API, an artefact. No source = GAP.
We assign the status LIVE / DATA / SOON in line with the strength of the proof and the claim ≤ proof rule.
The item receives a version and a date. A change in evidence or in the state of the dataset = a new version, not a silent edit.
