This field note is part of the FOBA learning stream. It is meant to orient readers and point toward better source work.
Key points
- Use a ladder: raw clue, corroborated clue, cautious claim.

- Record what each row does not prove.
Next steps
- Track one cited clue per ladder step.
- Cross-check with map and directory rows.
- Escalate continuity wording to Fact Check.
