Question

Which assertions conflict, and what prevents a confident conclusion?

Nodes

Claim; Conflicting claim; Scope; Evidence; Resolution decision

Relationship sketch

claim → conflicts with claim
resolution → supporting scope/evidence

Evidence inputs

Contradictory source statements, version/time differences, identity uncertainty, reviewer reasoning.

Implementation

Check whether apparent disagreements concern different dates, scopes, or entities before declaring contradiction. Retain unresolved alternatives and block their promotion into public facts.

Acceptance checks

Conflicts remain inspectable after a preferred answer is chosen
Scope/date distinctions are recorded
Unresolved critical facts block dependent publication

Do not infer

A majority of copied statements is not a reliable conflict-resolution rule.

Publication boundary

Public corrections where appropriate; sensitive disputes private.
