DISPUTED CONNECTIONS / RESEARCH DOSSIER

Disputed Connections.

The disagreement is part of the record.

THE QUESTION

Uncertain edges need labels, competing evidence and a documented reason for their status.

RESEARCH NOTES / OPENING EDITIONNOT AN EXHAUSTIVE SURVEY
07.01 / RESEARCH FRAME

Three separate decisions

A claim may be supported, disputed or awaiting review. “Disputed” does not automatically mean false; it means there is a material conflict in credible evidence.

07.02 / RESEARCH FRAME

Display the strongest alternatives

When accounts compete, each deserves its most relevant sources and clear boundaries. Reproducing one side’s weakest argument would make the comparison misleading.

07.03 / RESEARCH FRAME

Keep changes attributable

If a relationship is downgraded or removed, the revision log must record the prior claim ID, the replacement assessment, and the source that changed the editorial conclusion.

CONTRIBUTE A DOCUMENTED FINDING

Challenge a graph edge by ID with counterevidence and an explanation of the conflict.
