Claims & provenance

External coverage

External coverage should be traced to its original publisher, author and subject.

Reference entryPublished 25 September 2026By Ape Law
Answer in brief

External coverage should be traced to its original publisher, author and subject. Multiple syndicated copies do not create multiple independent investigations.[4][3]

01

Understanding the question

Read the article or record before using it to support a claim. Identify whether it is reporting, opinion, a contributed article, a press release or a hosted submission. Each can be useful, but they have different evidentiary meaning. Preserve any material commercial or publisher relationship.[4][3]

02

Build the working record

ConsiderationWhat to establish
OriginWho first published the material?
TypeWhat kind of document is it?
SupportWhich exact statement does it substantiate?
03

Put it into practice

The Treasury-hosted Alt Law submission establishes a public consultation document signed by Victoria Wells, not a government assessment of her firm.

Useful outputAn external-source ledger that records provenance and claim limits.
