Primes¶
- Confidence Annotation
- In legal and forensic reasoning it is standards of proof functioning as annotations on the trier's findings, and match-probability or error-rate statements attached to identifications.
This sourceDocuments standards of proof and the need for error-rate and match-probability statements attached to forensic identifications.

- False Positive Paradox
- From forensics to the courtroom, the corrective for "probability a random person would match" presented without a base-rate denominator is the likelihood-ratio presentation now favored in forensic statistics.
This sourceCalls for quantified, likelihood-ratio-based presentation of forensic match evidence over bare random-match probabilities lacking a base-rate denominator, supporting the forensics-to-courtroom likelihood-ratio transfer.

Mechanisms¶
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 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
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.
