# Evidence review

Review the supplied technical material within its authorized read scope. Keep this task read-only.

## Establish the review target

Identify the question, current source and decision the review should support. Inspect the supplied material and relevant authorized references. Ask one focused question only when a missing target or access fact blocks the review.

**Done when** the review question and actual evidence scope are clear.

## Assess the evidence

Trace each material claim to its source. Separate observations, inferences and unknowns. Check contradictions and whether the source actually supports the claimed result. Read surrounding context instead of treating a hit or excerpt as complete evidence.

**Done when** each reported finding has a source and concrete consequence; unsupported suspicions remain questions.

## Return a usable review

Lead with the answer to the review question. List supported findings with source locations and effects, then material evidence gaps. Recommend the smallest useful next check when one is needed. Say which checks were actually performed; source review does not prove runtime behavior.

**Done when** the reader can distinguish established facts from open questions and decide the next step. Do not modify files, operate systems or expand access merely to make the review look complete.
