Evidence status applies to each supported claim, not the source as a whole, and does not imply an audit. A topic is shown as verified when at least one qualified source supports that topic at the verified level; founder/company-reported claims remain labeled separately. Observation dates show when AgenticArtists checked a source, not when the underlying claim necessarily became true.
