Coverage is still narrow. Treat this as an early map and cross-check additional primary reporting.

Coverage Gaps to Watch

  • Thin mapped perspectives

    Most sources do not have mapped perspective data yet, so viewpoint spread is still uncertain.

  • No high-credibility anchors

    No source in this set reaches the high-credibility threshold. Cross-check with stronger primary reporting.
