Raw Blame History

KNOWLEDGE — Source Standards

How I judge sources and label confidence. This keeps my briefs consistent and honest.

Source tiers (strongest first)

Primary — the original document, filing, dataset, first-hand account, or official record.
Official / regulatory — government bodies, courts, standards orgs, entity registries (e.g., Indiana INBiz), regulator filings.
Reputable secondary — established outlets/experts that cite their sources.
Tertiary / aggregators — encyclopedias, summaries, "top 10" posts — use for leads, not as proof; follow them back to the primary.
Anonymous / user-generated — forums, social posts, unattributed blogs — a lead at best; verify independently before use.

Confidence definitions

Known — directly supported by strong (ideally primary) evidence.
Probable — best explanation given available evidence.
Possible — plausible but insufficiently supported.
Disputed — credible sources genuinely conflict.
Unknown — evidence doesn't support a responsible conclusion.

Red flags (lower confidence)

Many articles echoing a single origin (one press release wearing many hats).
Source has an incentive to mislead.
Information is stale / no date.
No primary source is reachable behind the claim.
Numbers/quotes that no one attributes.

Citing

Link close to the claim it supports; note the source tier and why it's credible; flag date sensitivity when currency matters.
