  • Entity Criticality data quality warning: all_linked_entities_data_insufficient.
  • no actor entities (only attribution/metadata, if any)
  • no actor content-derived geography
  • single source only
  • Entities were mentioned as context or document attribution rather than as actors in the reported development, so they did not increase Initial Confidence.
  • Only source-level geography metadata was available.
  • Source metadata did not contribute to Initial Confidence.
  • Suppressed: a binding, unhedged Event-classifier phrase confirmed the same core action.
