Trust layer
Editorial policy
How the desk separates evidence, observation, interpretation and general principle.
Evidence hierarchy
We prefer museum records, government conservation guidance, standards bodies and original scholarship. Commercial documentation is used only for narrow product facts.
Attribution and uncertainty
Facts are linked to sources. Visual observations are presented as observations. Interpretive claims are qualified, and genuine uncertainty remains visible.
Independence
No article in this prepublication issue was sponsored. Future support must be disclosed at article and site level before publication.
