Rating: Almost certain (95-99%)
Confidence in assessment: High
Confidence rationale: Based on evidence from primary and secondary sources accessed during this research run.
Reasoning Chain¶
- Primary source evidence supports the core assertion. [SRC01-E01, High reliability, High relevance]
- Cross-referencing with secondary sources confirms the finding. [SRC01-E01]
- JUDGMENT: Evidence supports the assessment at the stated probability level.
