B.3:4.6 - Keep visible authority outside the result

A badge, score, dashboard tile, credential display, provenance mark, model card, datasheet, data card, assurance document, attestation, generated confidence phrase, or publication form can be a cue, source, evidence item, or representation. It contributes to assurance only through an exact claim and basis relation used by the argument.

If the visible item only reports a status, gate decision, permission, warning, or source location, use its direct pattern and produce no B.3 result. If an assurance claim is current, cite the item only for the property it actually establishes. A valid signature or provenance chain can establish origin and integrity without establishing safety, truth, compliance, or readiness.
