  Partial on two counts. The anchor confirms the coinage attribution to Ismail and Shelton and four of the six reasons the claim lists: liability, fiduciary duty, proprietary data ownership and learning loops. It does not reach brand and purpose, so those two are unverified from this passage, and I read only the anchor rather than the surrounding section. Separately, this is the speaker asserting his own coinage in the source the claim was extracted from, so it establishes faithful quotation rather than independent corroboration. A search for the term in published form found no public record of it, which is recorded against this claim separately.

• Salim Ismail independently describes the fiduciary wedge as the legal entity's purpose, liability, IP, and judgment.

  Directly supports the term and its liability/fiduciary rationale; the page also discusses proprietary data, learning loops, brand and purpose elsewhere, though this excerpt focuses on accountability.

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.
