Verified world events are promoted only when independently corroborated; each shows its evidence grade, and verified ones link the newsrooms the auditor matched. Older events, whose links were not retained, are marked and carry no count. The ambient layer is auto-coded, lower-confidence signal and is always labeled as such.
