A claim is entered in the brief's own words and carries its publication date and the day it entered the ledger: the register's briefs on 8 September 2026, when the standard was first applied; the forward benchmark on the day it was locked. It resolves only against a dated public source. The scoring rule is on the Methodology page.
The brief cites regulatory and enforcement disclosure such as the California Privacy Protection Agency and FTC actions, court and prosecution records including DOJ indictments, vendor and threat-intelligence research from firms such as Nisos, CertiK, and Deloitte, and established press. Claims are organized as six key judgments with explicit confidence levels and per-section assessments carrying confidence grades and rationale, keyed by numbered citations to a source registry.
Limitations: Criminal matters are noted as unproven where unadjudicated, vendor-published exposure statistics are used only where methodology is disclosed, and record repopulation after deletion is documented by practitioners and vendors rather than independent controlled study.
Estimative language in this report follows the firm’s published standard: judgments carry HIGH, MODERATE, or LOW confidence, and each carries its rationale in the full report. The framework, source tiers, and anti-fabrication perimeter are public on the methodology page. Corrections issue as numbered addenda.
