Separate dimensions
Entity class, ecosystem role, ownership structure and inclusion basis answer different questions. The index records each separately.
Rights, not labels
Ownership interests, instruments and control rights are recorded separately. A familiar label never substitutes for the underlying rights.
Evidence in view
Each critical claim carries a source, evidence state, effective date and review date. Unknown facts stay unknown.
Evidence standard
A profile is a research record, not a badge.
Certification is a separate process with its own review standard. Inclusion in this index does not imply certification or endorsement.
