Evidence type — the full vocabulary

This page is generated. Do not edit it by hand — run scripts/atlas-vocab.py.

There are 6 registered values and nothing in use outside them.

Where it is stored: nowhere yet. The vocabulary is registered and nothing writes it — that is work not done, not a fault in the model.

Worth knowing: Written on every classification junction as a column of its own; the vocabulary governs all of them at once.

What this axis answers

Proposed — not yet in the database. How strongly the evidence supports a classification — whether something was directly shown, stated, or inferred. It is written on every classification, so it governs all of them at once.

The values

Value	Stored as	In use	What it means
Directly Shown	directly_shown	—	Visibly shown in the asset (image/video/UI)
Directly Stated	directly_stated	—	Explicitly stated in the copy/audio/transcript
Strongly Implied	strongly_implied	—	Strongly implied though not explicit
Weakly Implied	weakly_implied	—	Loosely/weakly implied; interpretive
Speculative	speculative	—	Speculative / needs follow-up; low certainty
No Reference	no_reference	—	No supporting reference found in the asset

Registered, never used

6 of the 6 registered values have never been written to a row. For a young axis that is expected; for an old one it is a question worth asking.

directly_shown, directly_stated, strongly_implied, weakly_implied, speculative, no_reference

How complete this page is

Of 6 registered values, 6 carry a written definition (100%) and 0 carry tagging rules (0%). Every number on this page was counted from the live database when the page was generated — none is stored, and none was typed by hand.
