Evidence Rubric

Strong

• official page or API record
• SteamDB app, package, depot, or history change
• downloadable media, manuals, or support docs
• public shipment or regulatory filing clearly matching the device

Medium

• client strings or protobufs describing concrete rollout flows
• hidden sections and media exposed by public site APIs
• product metadata showing real SKUs or rollout state without price or date

Weak

• CSS class toggles
• generic platform scripts
• reused templates
• stale assets without fresh timestamps
• inference unsupported by product-specific artifacts

Confidence Labels

• high: direct primary evidence, little ambiguity
• medium: strong inference from primary artifacts
• low: plausible but not confirmed

Use the lowest defensible confidence that matches the evidence.
