Every record in the archive follows the same structure, so that readers can check each claim against its source and see where sources disagree.
Structured details
An incident record stores its key facts as data, not only as prose: the date, the place, the type of attack, the communities of the victims, and how responsibility for the attack is established. These details drive the map, the timeline and the statistics.
Casualty figures by source
Casualty figures are entered once per source. If one report gives 91 deaths and another gives 88 to 98, both are recorded and shown side by side. The archive never averages figures or chooses one silently; totals are shown as a range from the lowest to the highest cited figure.
Citations
Each important claim is followed by a numbered citation that links to the source list at the end of the record. Every source has its own page showing which records rely on it, with a link to the original and an archived copy where one exists. See all sources.
Evidence labels
Every record carries one of four labels: documented, corroborated, disputed or needs verification. The methodology explains what each one means.
Corrections
When a published fact is materially corrected, the change is dated on the record and listed in the public corrections log.
