Human-Review Readiness: OSINT Verification and Attribution Under Uncertainty

Status

Reviewed-with-limitations preparation record for IARPG-OPS-2 2.0.30-wip. It creates review questions and empty adjudication slots for the six preserved 2.0.29 dispositions. It records zero human reviewers, zero qualified translations, zero locally informed approvals, and zero completed adjudications.

Purpose

Prepare the preserved source wrapper for independent human, legal, technical, translation, locally informed, affected-community, privacy, rights, remedy, and editorial review without altering the supplied source bytes or the prior disposition record.

Review Readiness

• Preserved source: OSINT Verification and Attribution Under Uncertainty(2).md
• Preserved SHA-256: 5c87b40f4f9b0244f07ab6988002c5fe9921b19a5fb4de9b1b47fc6fe77b840e
• Reviewed wrapper: OSINT Verification and Attribution Under Uncertainty
• Machine reviewer packet: open packet
• Original-language and locally authored source requirements: open requirement
• Public method: Human Review Readiness

Source-specific review questions

1. Legal Status: Which authentication, evidentiary, privacy, copyright, source-protection, and publication rules apply to the record in its actual jurisdiction?
2. Current Facts: Are cited standards, platform features, court records, incidents, and correction statuses still current at the proposed cutoff?
3. Translation: Was the earliest accessible wording checked in the original language, including names, dates, evidential markers, modality, and causal verbs?
4. Technical Attribution: Can origin, directness, independence, authenticity, custody, and corroboration be reconstructed without turning the method into private-person identification or intrusion guidance?
5. Affected Community Perspectives: Do local reporters or affected communities identify context, harms, missing records, or interpretation conflicts not visible in external OSINT?
6. Privacy: Can the claim be evaluated with data minimization, redaction, and aggregation rather than publishing identifiers, precise locations, or sensitive metadata?
7. Rights: Does the method preserve reply, correction, presumption, source protection, equality, and the distinction between authentication and guilt?
8. Remedy: What visible correction, supersession, appeal, subject response, and deletion-request process applies if the verification later changes?

Disposition-level adjudication slots

Each slot keeps claim status, analytic confidence, source reliability, attribution rung, source origin, translation state, correction history, reviewer findings, and adjudication separate. Reviewer-owned and adjudicator-owned fields remain null.

Findings

• The source receives the same eight review categories and three claim-level prompts per disposition as every other packet.
• The source-specific language and local-source requirements reflect its own jurisdictions and evidence environments; they are requirements, not completed reviews.
• A model-generated question can reveal an unresolved issue but cannot answer it.
• The prior disposition and exact source bytes remain authoritative history unless a later append-only correction or supersession is genuinely adjudicated.

Translation and Local-Source Boundary

Required language environments: English, original language of every primary artifact, local language of the event or institution where material.

For every worked case, require at least one original-language primary record or locally authored account and document any translation or transliteration uncertainty.

No translator identity, qualification, original-language verification, locally informed relationship, or affected-community acceptance has been supplied.

Privacy, Rights, and Remedy Boundary

The review must minimize private information, avoid private-person identification and profiling, preserve due process and source protection, identify affected communities without typecasting them, and state actual complaint, correction, appeal, deletion, notification, compensation, or other remedy routes. It must not reproduce operational intrusion, surveillance, evasion, targeting, coercion, weapons, recruitment, or influence-execution instructions.

Publication Blockers

• Independent qualified human review is absent.
• Jurisdiction-specific legal review is absent.
• Qualified human translation and original-language verification are absent where required.
• Locally informed and affected-community review are absent.
• Technical attribution has not been independently validated for current factual reuse.
• Accountable editorial adjudication and publication approval are absent.

Supersession Status

First human-review-readiness record for this wrapper. Any later review must append a dated finding and adjudication record without deleting this packet, its null fields, the source bytes, or the preserved 2.0.29 disposition.
