Field notes
The homepage lays out an assessment sequence that moves from a judgement and its caveats to sources, assumptions and competing explanations. It also says the first assessment is still ahead, so the described method is not yet demonstrated by published work on the page. Links to methodology and Corrections & Challenges indicate where the project says readers can examine its approach and challenge conclusions.
