Methodology
How this report is produced
The report uses only public Mentor News records that passed identity, date, source, relevance, sensitivity, and significance gates. Syndicated and same-event reports are consolidated before counting. Significance and editorial usefulness are independent scores; neither overrides hard safety gates. The report describes observed public events and does not infer private motives.
