- no actor content-derived geography
- single source only
- 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.
- Suppressed: a binding, unhedged Event-classifier phrase confirmed the same core action.
