Ageing Process
Fresh full-copy audit: 302 sheets read and visually surveyed; selected evidence rechecked in enlarged renders. Retain the qualitative systems list. The same page mistakenly glosses virgin as previously used; virgin means unused. The 70 percent formulation is not a measured universal allocation; later repetition on sheet 256 does not validate it. Verification concerns source fidelity, not independent endorsement of every source assertion.
One Citation record represents one source-and-locator reference. It must be reusable, verifiable, and connected to every evidence object that depends on it.
