Evidence and sources · QUICK REFERENCE
Claims, observations and conclusions
Label what someone says, what you directly observed and what you infer. Those three levels often get blended into a confident paragraph even when the evidence is limited. Explicit labels help a reader see where independent confirmation ends.
A practical checklist
- Attribute claims to their speaker.
- Describe observations with dates.
- Explain the reasoning behind conclusions.
Putting it in context
A customer alleges a delay, an editor sees a dated message, and the operator's overall processing reliability remains unknown. All three statements can coexist without contradiction.
Keep in mind
One observed case is not a measured failure rate.
