Language rules
Official
Published by Epic
We use “official” only for an Epic-controlled source or live client text.
Reported
Attributed evidence
Credible secondary coverage that has not been publicly confirmed by Epic.
Unconfirmed
Insufficient evidence
Repeated claims without a primary source or reproducible dataset.
Update and correction process
Material pages display a fact-check date. When a new source changes a claim, we update the statement, its status label, the structured data and the source register. We do not silently preserve an attractive statistic after its evidence fails.
