ZipDo methodology ## How we rate confidence Each label summarizes how much signal we saw in our review pipeline — not a legal warranty. Verified is the quiet default; we only flag the exceptions. Bands use a stable target mix: about 70% Verified, 15% Directional, and 15% Single source across row indicators. Verified The quiet default. Strong alignment across our automated checks and editorial review: multiple corroborating paths to the same figure, or a single authoritative primary source we could re-verify. Directional Flagged as an exception. The evidence points the same way, but scope, sample, or replication is not as tight as our verified band. Useful for context — not a substitute for primary reading. Single source Flagged as an exception. One traceable line of evidence right now. We still publish when the source is credible; treat the number as provisional until more routes confirm it.
