Mechanisms¶
- Enumeration Quality Backcheck
- The backcheck then does not recount everything; it draws a random sample of, say, 200 bins and sends an independent auditor to re-count them blind — without seeing the recorded figure — so a matching number is genuine agreement, not a copied one.
This sourcePrescribes randomized backchecks by separate staff who are not shown the original responses. Recommends random, undisclosed backcheck selection to prevent pattern recognition and gaming.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no 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.
