Methodology & Provenance
A number without provenance is not intelligence. CINEYIELD records what a value means, where it came from, when it was observed and how confidently it can be used.
Field-level record
Value · source · source type · observation date · geography · currency · confidence · notes. Quantitative datasets add methodology, transformation history and verification date.
Evidence labels
Confirmed means supported by an authoritative first-party record. Reported means attributed to an identified source. CINEYIELD estimate means derived using disclosed assumptions. Illustrative model means educational and not a claim about a live transaction.
Verification
“Last verified” records when the underlying fact was checked. It does not change simply because a page was edited. Changing programs and market data receive a new verification record.
Corrections
Material corrections are logged with the prior statement, corrected statement, date and reason. Readers can submit source-level corrections through the private corrections queue.
