Domain-specific

• Sankey diagram
  • Conservation is common in physical accounts but is not a universal license to force every dataset into a balanced stock-flow model.

Mechanisms

• Sankey Flow Map
  • The discipline that keeps it honest is to source every ribbon from a closed Mass-Balance Table, so the widths genuinely sum, and to always draw the loss channel rather than letting the missing quantity leave the frame unremarked.

    This sourceRequires quantitative Sankey flows to obey conservation of mass or energy, so represented input and output quantities balance.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
