Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described.

Critical limits

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
