How the platform
knows what it knows.

Definitions, evidence classes, source boundaries and interpretation rules for responsible use of the platform.

Evidence taxonomy

Ambition must never
outrun evidence.

Every consequential statement should carry an evidence meaning.

The taxonomy prevents corporate propositions, controlled programme baselines and technical targets from being misread as independently demonstrated performance.

01

Verified fact

Supported by primary evidence or independent confirmation appropriate to the claim.

Decision-grade where current
02

Controlled baseline

An approved programme assumption with a named owner, status and revision.

Bounded design use
03

Performance target

An intended technical, financial or delivery outcome that has not been demonstrated.

Validation required
04

Strategic proposition

A stated institutional position, ambition, differentiation or future-state thesis.

Not external proof
05

Concept

An illustrative option under assessment, before complete substantiation or approval.

Not a commitment
Source boundary
