Verification Standards
Verification status is one of Dhaar's defining credibility systems, not merely a coloured badge. These labels describe the state of the public record under Dhaar's methodology. They are not a court finding.
- Reported — documented by one or more identified sources, but not independently corroborated by Dhaar.
- Verification ongoing — the record remains under active review; important elements may still be unresolved.
- Partially verified — some core elements have been corroborated while other material remains unresolved or source-dependent.
- Verified — core factual claims have been corroborated against sufficiently independent sources and/or primary documentation under Dhaar's published methodology.
- Disputed / contested — credible sources materially conflict; the record should identify the point of disagreement rather than force false certainty.
