PAPER DR · SIMULATION · NO MONETARY VALUE · DR IS NOT ISSUED · REAL CAPITAL £0
A current-event decision depends on whether the image is new local evidence.
Demonstration. Do not treat as a real-world finding.
REQUIREMENTS / TASKS
- R1 · Original / earliest known source
Later republications are not independent.
OPEN TASK - R2 · Location evidence
Claimed place must be independently checkable.
OPEN TASK - R3 · Date/time evidence
Old media reposted as current is a common failure.
OPEN TASK - R4 · Media provenance
Capture device, upload path, credentials if any.
OPEN TASK - R5 · Independent corroboration
A second independence group, not a reprint.
OPEN TASK - R6 · Manipulation analysis
Indicators only — not a fake/real verdict.
