- Identity Test
- In law and forensics it is a layered structure of tests — registration, photo identification, biometric, behavioral, witness, genetic — each with its own error profile, and "same person" for criminal, civil, immigration, and tax purposes may be governed by different effective tests whose mismatches drive cases.

Reviews only eyewitness identification: backs the 'witness' strand and its error profile, but silent on registration, biometric, behavioral, genetic tests and immigration or tax purposes.

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? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
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.
