Claims are not facts by default
Every proposed meaning, origin, language, cultural context or astrological association is stored as its own claim. A name may carry several competing claims.
Evidence travels with the claim
Sources connect to individual claims with a precise citation, support position and relevance classification. A claim cannot be marked VERIFIED without direct supporting evidence from an active primary-authoritative or scholarly source.
Disagreement is part of the answer
When material sources disagree, NAAMORI keeps both accounts and marks the result DISPUTED. We do not collapse ambiguity into a convenient single meaning.
AI is not a source
AI may help locate, compare and structure research. AI output itself is never accepted as evidence, cannot fill a missing citation and cannot promote a claim to verified status. Every factual claim must trace back to an external source.
What the badges mean
Verified means the exact claim has direct support from active primary-authoritative or scholarly external evidence under Naamori's deterministic rules. Supported means credible evidence exists, but its authority or relationship to the modern name does not reach the Verified threshold. Disputed means a qualifying source materially contradicts a claim; the competing accounts remain visible. Modern name means modern usage is evidenced while a traditional derivation is not established.
Unverified / not found means Naamori does not currently have enough reliable evidence for a public profile, or the name is not in the database. Unverified records remain unpublished rather than being filled with a confident guess.
Publication is evidence-driven
Eligible records are published from stored external evidence and explicit source-quality rules. Optional editorial audits remain available for corrections and dispute escalation, but an audit decision is not evidence and does not determine the factual badge.
Why we may disagree with baby-name websites
Repeating a meaning across commercial sites does not make the sources independent. Naamori checks whether the cited linguistic form and source actually support the exact modern name and wording. When that link is weak, we keep the popular claim as context, downgrade it, mark it disputed or leave it unpublished.
