Overview
A claim review card turns one claim into a reviewable object. It asks what the claim says, what the evidence supports, what remains debated, what sources should be reviewed, what wording is safest, and what privacy risks exist.
What this helps you learn
- A review card helps separate sourced records, historical interpretation, community memory, oral tradition, spiritual interpretation, DNA leads, and claims needing more review.
- It gives Fact Checks and Community Notes a shared structure.
- It protects the site from turning attractive stories into unsupported conclusions.
Careful claims
- Do not use a claim card to certify identity, ancestry, tribe, nationality, DNA conclusions, legal status, descent, or membership.
- Do not strengthen sensitive public copy until owner/source review is complete.
- Do not hide evidence limits because the claim is meaningful or popular.
Research path
- Fill in claim, source trail, evidence status, competing interpretation, privacy risk, recommended wording, and next review owner.
- Use Fact Check when the claim is public, repeated, sensitive, or contested.
- Use Evidence Gates when the claim affects public trust, monetization readiness, or partner-site routing.
Source trail
- FOBA Fact Check – Submit or review a claim.
