Claim

In the pre-pandemic 2015–2020 period, the global rock-phosphate trade network was characterized by low density and reciprocity, small-world and scale-free structure, decentralization, slight disassortativity, and moderate geographic heterophily.

Main unresolved issue: 2 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:a8876a56-f76b-84a5-b8ed-a7289c049e8f

Not yet independently audited.Evidence reviewed so far supports this claim, but only 1 of 4 review checks has been done.Every quoted passage was confirmed on the page when Galedra fetched it.

Why?

Strongest counted support: The study reports a low-density, decentralized, small-world and scale-free global rock-phosphate trade network. weight 1.800000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The quoted passage directly lists the network’s low density, low reciprocity, small-world and scale-free character, decentralization, disassortativity, and geographic heterophily.

Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Unresolved.

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.

Claim edges

None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.
