Fill in every section. When a section has nothing to report, write none instead of deleting it, so a reader can tell the check was done.
# Social evidence report: <question>
Status: complete | partial (<what is missing and why>)
Prepared: <date and time>
## Protocol
- Question: <the research question>
- Platforms: <platforms and exports in scope>
- Date range: <start> to <end>, by publication time
- Selection method: <how records were chosen, such as "first 20 results for query X, sorted by recent">
- Unit of analysis: <post, comment, video, author, or other>
- Maximum sample: <cap per platform and overall>
- Stopping rule: <when collection stops>
- Protocol changes: none | <what changed, when, and why>
## Collection counts
| Stage | Count | Unit | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovered | | sources | <discovery-only records: search cards, snippets, and supplied URLs> |
| Inspected | | parts | <inspected parts, and the number of distinct sources (`source_id`) they come from> |
| Excluded | | | <each exclusion reason with its count> |
| Access gaps | | | <each gap type with its count> |
| Duplicate groups | | groups | <members per group; repeated content counted once> |
Overlap: <explain how the rows relate, using `discovered_via` and `source_id`, for example "31 of the 40 discovered sources were opened, giving 58 inspected parts. 4 export rows were inspected without a discovery record.">
## Findings
| # | Claim | Evidence IDs and locators | What the source said | Researcher interpretation | Limitation |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | | E015 (comment id 88213) | | | |
## Attribution notes
<Who said what: post authors, commenters, and reposting authors, kept apart from the researcher's conclusions.>
## Duplicate groups
| Group | Original | Reposts, cross-posts, captures | Counted as | Uncertain |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| D1 | E004 | E009, E011 | one original statement, plus E011's added commentary as a separate statement | no |
## Access and collection limits
- <Login gates, deleted or unavailable content, missing export fields, rate limits, incomplete comments or media, with record IDs>
- <Empty searches: the query, platform, and time, recorded as a collection limit, not as evidence of no discussion>
- <Sampling limits: what the sample can and can't represent>
## Unanswered questions
- <Each part of the question the evidence couldn't answer, and what evidence would answer it>
## Evidence records
<All records, in the format from evidence-record.md, including discovery-only and inaccessible ones.>none when the claim is purely descriptive.Set Status: partial when the evidence the question needs is unavailable, for example when the key platform is behind a login gate, or when the stopping rule ended collection before the records the question needs were inspected. Keep the findings that the available evidence supports, and list what is missing under unanswered questions. Don’t fill gaps with discovery-only records, guesses, or general knowledge.
