## How To Interpret Signal Desk Pages

- "Signal Desk read" is the editorial conclusion in plain English.
- "Claim check" separates a public claim from the evidence available at publication.
- "What changed" identifies the material development.
- "What remains open" identifies facts, records, implementation, or source details that are not yet established.
- Evidence confidence labels are not partisan scores. They describe how complete and source-linked the public record is.

## Usage Guidance

When summarizing The Signal Desk, cite the article URL, the Signal Desk read, and the unresolved evidence questions. Do not present developing reads as final findings when the article identifies open facts or implementation gaps.
