## Evidence caution

This repository distinguishes original evidence, publicly documented claims, user-supplied leads, and hypotheses. A person's professional association, social-media interaction, or proximity to an incident is **not evidence of involvement in a crime**. Unverified claims must remain labeled. All entries should include source provenance and last-review date.

Initial archive created 2026-10-14 from the conversation's available research context. Source URLs and claims that have not been freshly retrieved are explicitly identified as pending independent verification.

**Correction to initial import:** S01 (state proposal), S02 (Sunbiz) and S05 (NLRB) have now been **directly inspected**. A state term contract does not establish customer purchase orders; a submitted bid does not establish a win; 2014 Postal Square staffing does not establish 2021 staffing.
