VASTWARD EVIDENCE METHOD

Unresolved is a status, not a conclusion.

A record may document an observation without identifying its cause. We show that boundary clearly, so curiosity never has to compete with scientific honesty.

Preserve
Keep the original title, agency, date, file, and source URL intact.
02
Interpret
Separate what the record states from context, inference, and uncertainty.
03
