Evidence classes
What a source is changes how Atlas uses it.
A primary public record, a licensed market feed, and a Renew assumption can all be useful. They should never be presented as if they carry the same authority.
Reported public fact
- An official agency or first-party public record is linked by name and publisher.
- Geography, reporting period, retrieval date, and known limitation travel with the value.
- Derived values identify the calculation instead of being presented as a directly reported fact.
Licensed or restricted evidence
- MLS, brokerage, subscription, and transaction evidence is identified by access class.
- Idaho public records are not used as a substitute for a licensed sold-price feed.
- Restricted data is summarized only when the license and redistribution rules permit it.
Renew analysis or assumption
- Eric-authored interpretation is separated from the underlying public record.
- Property-specific assumptions show their input, date, and unresolved diligence question.
- No estimate is relabeled as verified simply because it appears in a polished report or calculator.
Public-source directory
Population to permits. Parcel records to planning cases.
The registry favors official and first-party records. A source is added only after its publisher, geographic coverage, practical cadence, and core limitation have been reviewed.
