|-----------|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| Narrative | `news` | `references/news/stories.csv` | Over-samples unusual / contested / extreme events |
| Narrative | `interview` | `references/interviews/*.md` | Subject self-selection; contested-case salience |
| Narrative | `court-opinion` | `references/cases/*.md` | Appellate / published-decision over-representation |
| Aggregate | `aggregate-report` | `references/reports/*.pdf`, `references/cnj/` | Methodology-bound; definitional gaps |
The procedure is the same in shape but **adjudication and falsification
thresholds differ by type** — see §5 and §6.
Two modes:
- **Targeted (default).** For each finding, derive or accept a falsificati
