CLAIMBOUND / SOURCE-PUBLICATION EVIDENCE

Power grid

70 distinct source statements, not 70 independently proven facts. 70 results use an official primary source; 0 retain their explicitly limited Wikidata publication boundary.

Every card identifies what it proves, what it does not prove, its exact quote, locator, source hash, and local rerun command.
