## Interpretation

This is a mechanical audit, not proof that a citation genuinely supports a claim. The agent must still reopen and compare every central claim with the source.

In the evidence ledger, `status=verified` means that the cited source, locator, and excerpt were checked. It does **not** mean that the underlying claim, laboratory result, sample identity, chain of custody, commercial representation, or causal interpretation has been independently proven.
