- iss-52Every corpus source carries an epistemic tier — peer-reviewed, preprint, practitioner, or ai-generated — recorded at ingest time and surfaced by consult, so that the trust level of a source travels with the source rather than living in the reader's head. The convention serves evidence discipline: AI-generated sources support nothing on their own and may only corroborate claims grounded elsewhere, and a consult result that hides tier invites laundering weak evidence into strong claims. Detector: the ledger lint refuses influence edges whose source lacks a tier; acceptance is an ingest path that cannot register a source without one and a consult output that displays it.
