Original file, retained extraction, exact citation.
Alternatives stay on the record.
Competing hypotheses, assumptions, supporting and contradictory evidence, judgements and gaps are recorded together. Assessed likelihood is kept separate from analytical confidence.
Submitted for independent review.
Exact analytical content is submitted for independent review. Approval is separate from authorship, so the judgement and the check on it stay distinguishable.
An assessment can be examined
against the evidence actually used.
Competing hypotheses
Record alternatives alongside the favoured explanation, not instead of it.
Assumptions recorded
State what the assessment depends on, so it can be revisited when conditions change.
Likelihood and confidence
Assessed likelihood is held separately from analytical confidence in the judgement.
Information gaps
What is missing is recorded as part of the assessment, not omitted from it.
Exact evidence references
Judgements point at the retained passage or data cells that support them.
Independent review

Judgements, assumptions and gaps stay attached to the sources behind them.
