EVIDENCE BOUNDARY

Evidence boundary

Verified means the source, time and fields passed publication gates. It is not an independent guarantee of product performance, commercial return or future policy. Official statements establish public capabilities and rules; cross-platform comparisons, market size and outcome claims still require consistent samples and independent data.
