Selected Results

No results were selected. None of the returned results documented procedural integration of the taxonomy into a formal fact-checking methodology.

Rejected Results

Result	Title	URL	Rationale
S02-R01	Various academic and policy papers	Multiple URLs	Papers that cite the framework conceptually or discuss information disorder generally, without documenting procedural implementation

Notes

The absence of results showing procedural implementation is itself significant evidence. Two targeted searches specifically looking for operationalization and procedural implementation returned no relevant results. This supports H2/H3 over H1.
