Methodology

Case Archive Methodology

This page explains how NRS structures registry and governance cases before they are included in the public Case Archive.

Case Archive

Publication standard

Cases are reviewed against a structured evidence standard. Publication is based on verifiability, relevance, and systemic significance.

Case Archive

Evidence levels

Evidence levels define publication confidence. Inclusion requires documentary or attributable support, while public display keeps sensitive fields masked where needed.

Case Archive

Economic exposure

Economic exposure is estimated conservatively and remains masked in the public archive when disclosure could increase retaliation or recognition risk.

Case Archive

Corrections and updates

Corrections and updates are recorded over time. The archive is a standing record designed for retrieval, comparison, and citation.
