SCANAPSE VOCABULARY

Glossary for reading a domain dossier

A stable vocabulary helps distinguish facts, interpretation, uncertainty and limits without turning them into a score.

Domain dossier

A dated object that gathers a public reading of a domain, its observations, evidence, limits and evolution.

Observation

A public fact collected or derived from a defined external source and method.

Observed

A knowledge state used when the public evidence directly supports the statement.

Deduced

A qualified interpretation supported by observations but not directly stated by the source itself.

To confirm

A point for which available public material is insufficient to reach a firmer reading.

Not observable from outside

A point that cannot reasonably be established from the external public surface alone.

Contradictory

A state used when public elements point in incompatible directions.

Not tested

A question for which the relevant check was not performed in the current reading.

Evidence

The source material retained to support an observation or statement.

Confidence

A qualification of how strongly the available material supports a statement. It is not a security score.

Limit

The boundary beyond which Scanapse does not claim that the observation proves something.

Snapshot

A frozen reading of a domain at a given time, used as a reference for comparison.

Timeline

The sequence of stored readings and meaningful changes for a domain.

Dependency

A public relationship showing that a domain visibly relies on another domain, provider or resource.

Trajectory

The useful evolution of a domain across several readings after volatile noise has been filtered.

Go from vocabulary to evidence

The glossary defines the words. The methodology explains how observations are produced and the dossier shows the evidence attached to a real domain reading.
