How a knowledge claim was established: MEASURED_RESULT (quantified data), OBSERVED_REPEATEDLY (seen multiple times), OBSERVED_ONCE (seen once), HUMAN_DEFINED_RULE (declared, not derived), INFERENCE (reasoned from other claims), or SPECULATION (untested guess).
Why it matters
Evidence type tells you how seriously to take a claim. A MEASURED_RESULT outranks INFERENCE every time.
