Direct answer
An evidence ledger is a structured record of why a profile might matter and what still needs to be verified.
What to log
Log source URL, evidence snippet, signal type, confidence, recency, missing info, and verify-next action.
Operating notes
- Log source and confidence.
- Keep missing info visible.
- Separate claims from inferences.
- Use the ledger for HM review.
Why it helps
It prevents the team from turning weak signals into strong claims. It also makes HM review more transparent.
What not to log
Do not store sensitive data you are not authorized to use. Do not label inferred traits as facts.

FAQ
Why not just paste profiles into notes?
Unstructured notes make it hard to audit claims and verify evidence.
Does evidence prove interest?
No. Public evidence is not job intent.
