Public cases identify failure modes, while clips identify possible outcomes. Neither alone supplies a reliable rate.
The missing signal
Counts need selection method, operator scale, duplicates, severity and resolution before becoming comparable.
Precision can be theatrical. Before trusting a number or seal, ask who produced it, which entity or version it covers, the date it describes and which denominator or comparison has been left out.
A repeatable three-step test
- Write the claim plainly. Remove adjectives and keep the exact proposition.
- Match the source. Prefer the regulator, provider rule file or complete contract responsible for that fact.
- Keep the boundary. Do not extend one case, screenshot or configuration to the entire service.
NEXT ACTION
Preserve the denominator and source policy.
What it cannot establish
Strong evidence about one mechanic does not establish operator legality, payment reliability or suitability. Product, entity, transaction and jurisdiction questions should remain separate until a source explicitly connects them.
