Claims Map
Claim Matrix Overview
Every major claim is logged with source, timestamp, and evidence type. The matrix is designed for verification: you can trace any statement back to the audio or document where it appears.
The claim matrix is a living file in the archive:
notes/claims/claim-matrix.md.How to use the matrix
Find a claim by topic or source ID.Check the timestamp or page reference.Review the primary source for wording and context.Track contradictions or corroborations across sources.Cite claim IDs when discussing specific statements.
Evidence types
Primary audio: recovered recordings with timecodes.Primary documents: PDFs or scanned documents in the archive.Secondary sources: web pages or summaries preserved for context.
Claim ID format
Claim IDs encode source and sequence. Example: C-LEP-289-001 refers to a Life Enthusiast Podcast 289 audio claim, entry 001. Use IDs when linking claims across pages and notes.
Scope and labeling
Claims are recorded as stated, not as verified facts.Each entry is labeled with source type and capture notes.Conflicting claims are kept side‑by‑side for review.
Claim extracts
For deeper review, per‑source claim extracts are stored in notes/claims/ with timestamp or line references. These extracts underpin the matrix entries.
Conflicts and contradictions
Conflicting claims are tracked in notes/contradictions.md and summarized on the Contradictions page. Use it alongside the timeline for clarity.
