- Entity Criticality data quality warning: all_linked_entities_data_insufficient.
- Entities were mentioned as context or document attribution rather than as actors in the reported development, so they did not increase Initial Confidence.
- Geographies were mentioned only in diplomatic reaction, commentary or background context rather than as the actor, event location or affected party 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.
