Attach an explicitly supplied source confidence label without rating source reliability or establishing incident facts.

Description

Require nonempty incidentId, confidenceLabel, and sourceId, then combine them into a source-qualified tag.

Evidence bookkeeping records identifiers, reported methods, source editions, and supplied support flags. A complete-looking citation or matching record is different from evidence of a claim's validity.

Require nonempty incidentId, confidenceLabel, and sourceId, then combine them into a source-qualified tag.

When to use this tool

Use Public Incident Source Confidence Tag when you need a reproducible source or study-record consistency check.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter incidentId, confidenceLabel, sourceId. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read tag. Use the output convention below.

Limitations and assumptions

  • The confidence label is not a calculated probability, source-quality assessment, corroboration check, or verified incident fact.
  • 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

Read the original report and compare methods, outcomes, provenance, and uncertainty before assessing an evidence claim.
