Why do we believe this?
A conclusion should come with the evidence and reasoning that make it credible.
1 · Identify the exact claim
Separate identity from relationship claims. Establish what is being proposed and what would support or contradict it.
2 · Review the records
Evaluate sources, context, dates, places, informants, and possible same-name people. Record the citations and negative searches.
3 · Explain the reasoning
Show an evidence summary, conflicts, limitations, and the reasoning behind a conclusion. Research tools may help organize or flag issues; conclusions require evidence review.
4 · Publish an accountable review
Store review status, reviewer/contributor attribution where appropriate, and last review date. No reviewed canonical people have been published in this build.
5 · Revisit when evidence changes
New records may alter a conclusion. Preserve a transparent history and never silently extend a lineage beyond supported relationships.
