Evidence states, written in plain language
- Confirmed
- Primary evidence supports the claim, with independent corroboration where the claim permits.
- Corroborated
- At least two credible, independent sources support the claim when no decisive primary record exists.
- Attributed
- The page accurately presents a named source’s claim, but Grok Verge has not independently confirmed it.
- Preliminary
- Credible early evidence exists, while material facts remain incomplete.
- Contested
- Credible sources disagree, so the evidence and dispute remain visible together.
- Corrected
- The published record contained an error. The article explains what changed and when.
The record stays open.
