Trust Center

Wonder is welcome. Evidence is required. This hub gathers the practices, policies, and governance that keep Evidence Atlas rigorous, accountable, and hard to game.

How we prevent nonsense: signal-first vetting, structured claims, transparent labels, and corrections that leave a clear trail.

Provenance-first evidence

Every datum links to contributors, timestamps, and source material so reviewers can trace a claim from first sighting to final verdict.

Privacy-forward controls

We minimize data, offer granular visibility controls, and keep sensitive contributor information on a strict need-to-know basis.

Heritage guardianship

We keep sensitive locations and teams safe with policy guardrails, redacted feeds, and curated publication practices.

How we prevent nonsense

Each guardrail prevents sloppy claims from becoming spectacle: precise sourcing, structured debate, visible uncertainty, and public corrections.

Signal-first vetting

Every upload must tie back to primary media, field notes, or cited research before a claim is surfaced.

Structured claims

Claims include supporting context, counterpoints, and alternative interpretations so readers see debate, not drama.

Visible uncertainty

Confidence markers appear on sites, evidence, and claims so teams know what is settled and what remains exploratory.

Transparent corrections

Updates, retractions, and provenance shifts are documented publicly, with an audit trail that explains what changed and why.

Label system

Governance is legible when labels are consistent. Each chip links to the Credibility Policy and keeps readers oriented.
