Observed evidence
Observed evidence records a condition found through an authorized assessment process, together with its source, collection time, method, confidence, freshness, and known limitations. An observation is not automatically a diagnosis or outcome.
Bounded inference
A bounded inference is an interpretation supported by identified observations but not directly proven by them. It must remain labeled as inference and retain the limitations that constrain its use.
Client-submitted information
Organization details, goals, concerns, contacts, and authorizations supplied by a client are labeled as client-submitted. They provide context but do not become independently verified claims merely because they were submitted.
Verified improvement
A completed task becomes a verified improvement only when post-change evidence is collected using a stated method and compared with a baseline. Unavailable or inconclusive checks remain labeled that way rather than being replaced with invented values.
