How do I read sitmap.live?
Start with what the four verification states mean: a state says how well a report is sourced, not whether it is true. Then learn how to read the map's marks, why a siren is not a strike, and how sources are weighed. Four short guides, each answered in its first paragraph.

The guides
- What do Unverified, Single source, Corroborated and Confirmed mean?
How well a report is sourced, not whether it is true: from no credible source yet to independent origins and an official record.
- How do I read the map?
Colour is the type, the fill is the sourcing, a dashed edge is an approximate place, and badges and chips count what shares a spot.
- Is a siren or an official alert the same as a confirmed strike?
No: an alert warns of a possible threat; a confirmed alert only means it sounded. A strike is a separate report with its own state.
- How are sources weighed?
By tier and by independence: reposts count once, relays are credited to their origin, and the pickup rate is not a measure of accuracy.
Questions
Are these guides official?
No. sitmap.live is unofficial and built from public posts; verify before acting.
Does an AI model write these pages?
None is called when they are served. The text is fixed, and the numbers in it come from the code's own constants, with tests that fail when a rule changes without its page.
Where is the full method?
The methodology page describes the whole pipeline, and Corrections and audit log lists every change of state.
