## Reading rules

- Tiers are evidence labels, not verdicts. "documented" means a record exists,
  not that the record tells the truth. "stories" is oral/popular transmission.
  "interesting_claims" is modern assertion running ahead of evidence.
- No entry ends with a verdict. The open_question field is intentional; preserve
  it when quoting.
