Evidence
Observations, records, and arguments used to support or challenge a claim.
Evidence is information that bears on whether a claim is justified. Its strength depends on how it was gathered, whether it is relevant, and how well alternative explanations have been considered. Different fields use different methods and standards.
Ask who collected the information, what was measured, whether the method is documented, and whether independent sources agree. A citation helps readers check the underlying material; it does not guarantee that a claim is correct.
