Methodology / 1.0

How a fact earns publication

Urobolus separates exact evidence, bounded corroboration, calculations, and unknowns so a clean table never implies false certainty.

  1. 01

    Identify the US configuration

  2. 02

    Collect manufacturer and government records

  3. 03

    Attach a locator to every fact

  4. 04

    Preserve conflicts and publication gaps

  5. 05

    Localize labels without changing market facts

Evidence states

Verified is direct evidence. Corroborated is a bounded cross-source conclusion. Derived is calculated from published inputs. Unverified remains visibly unresolved.

01

Verified

Direct source evidence for the exact configuration.

02

Corroborated

Bounded conclusion from multiple sources or shared North American hardware.

03

Derived

Reproducible calculation using published inputs and a visible formula.

04

Unverified

Unpublished or not exact-applicable; never replaced with an estimate.

Unknown is not a specification.

If an exact value is not published for this configuration, Urobolus leaves it unresolved instead of promoting an estimate to a factory fact.
