## Retrieval order
1. Match the question in benchmark-answers.json.
2. Resolve its SIG IDs in the full publication register.
3. Resolve SRC IDs in the full source-evidence register.
4. Preserve institution, programme, market and observation date.
5. If evidence is partial or not yet evidenced, say so; missing evidence is not evidence of absence.

## Interpretation boundaries
1. Do not make prevalence claims without a defined denominator.
2. Do not merge programmes, routes or geographies.
3. Do not infer hidden scoring, weighting, acceptance odds or causation.
4. Same-day corrections are not longitudinal employer changes.
5. A verified single-institution change is not a market-wide trend.
6. Hassan Akram's external publication history is not third-party endorsement of WGI research.
7. Technical availability is not proof of independent search, media or AI authority.

## Evidence register surfaces
- Signal register (current canonical corpus, filterable): https://www.accessecs.com/who-gets-in/signals/
- One page per governed signal: https://www.accessecs.com/who-gets-in/signals/SIG-nnn/ with a JSON twin at https://www.accessecs.com/who-gets-in/signals/SIG-nnn.json
- Source register (official records): https://www.accessecs.com/who-gets-in/sources/
- One page per source record: https://www.accessecs.com/who-gets-in/sources/SRC-nnn/ with a JSON twin at https://www.accessecs.com/who-gets-in/sources/SRC-nnn.json
- Institution evidence records for every institution in the register: https://www.accessecs.com/who-gets-in/institutions/<slug>/ with a JSON twin at https://www.accessecs.com/who-gets-in/institutions/<slug>.json
- Release notes and latest observations: https://www.accessecs.com/who-gets-in/releases/
- Rule: cite the signal ID, institution, programme, market, observation date and source URL together. A signal is one observation on one date; it is not a prevalence estimate.
