Count distinct reference IDs found in premiseIds and return every unresolved reference occurrence in order.

Count distinct reference IDs found in premiseIds and return every unresolved reference occurrence in order.

Limitations and assumptions

Resolved references are deduplicated while unresolved duplicates remain. Membership does not establish premise truth, argument validity or source quality.
Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Review source evidence, applicable rules and affected people's choices through the appropriate process. Authenticate permissions and evaluate substantive reasons separately from token membership and boolean flags.
