Frost Log — September 20, 2026

Executive Summary

The veto branch we priced at one in four is the one that landed. All five houseguests played the Week 11 veto behind a three-hour blackout, an Egyptian tomb-run that involved dragging a mummy, and Drew won it — by his own account in six minutes "with no finesse." Within twenty minutes of the feeds returning, Devens had told Taylor she's the replacement nominee, told her she's safe, told her he'll break a Dee–Drew tie by evicting Melody, and told her he'd shrug off a Drew "sympathy vote" for Melody without it changing anything. The formal veto ceremony itself hasn't been observed on the feeds; every party to it has been told the outcome.

So the Sunday board is Melody against Taylor, the voters are Dee and Drew, and the HOH has pre-announced how the tie goes. Melody learned all of it secondhand: two full days as the stated target, and still not one game conversation with the man targeting her. She cried in the pod, skipped the group dinner, and by pre-dawn had a line ready for Drew — "not enough to use that damn veto on me."

The day's other event was quieter: Dee and Devens locked a final two out loud at 15:42, and then each spent the evening pricing the other's replacement — Dee probing Drew and floating Taylor, Devens flashing a cutthroat gesture at Drew about "our last chance" to put Dee up. The Pharaoh's Curse still has no disclosed rules.

The Cold Read

Read 1: Devens pre-announced the tiebreak, which turned Drew's ballot into a free one — and that's the only live variable on Sunday. Count it under the standard format. Two nominees, Melody and Taylor. Two voters, Dee and Drew. Devens breaks a tie, and he told Taylor which way. That means the eviction is settled unless both voters keep Melody, and Dee's day gives no reason to think she'd be the second one: she voted with her partner's target on Barrett and on Yash, she locked a final two with him in the afternoon, and by pre-dawn she and Drew were agreeing in the bathroom that Melody is the one who goes.¹ What Devens actually did by telling Taylor he'd "tolerate" a Drew sympathy vote is hand Drew a ballot that costs nothing in the outcome and pays something at the jury door. Melody will be a juror by Sunday night if the format is ordinary. Drew has spent every night of the block lying next to her, and this week she's asked him for the veto until it was moot and then said she'd forgive him if he stayed her friend. A keep vote is the cheapest goodbye message in the house, and the HOH has already said he won't hold it against him.

Whether Drew takes it is the week's one honest question. His two ballots with Devens were cast when Devens was a fellow voter and the count was tight; this time the outcome is fixed and his ballot is decorative. Against the keep: his own words overnight — "whatever makes it easier" about evicting Melody, and a bathroom agreement that she's the one.¹ For it: seven of this season's eleven contested evictions have carried at least one losing keep, Drew himself has cast two of them (Angela, Barrett), and the woman on the block is the one opponent the matrix says he could beat — Dee's overnight assurance that he'd "smash her" at two¹ is flattery the jury payloads don't support. Evicting your best final-two opponent to a jury on a ballot that doesn't matter is a textbook error. Doing it while your voting partner is Dee, who's watching for exactly which way you lean, is a field-relative reason not to. We make the evict-Melody ballot a slight favorite and the eviction itself near-certain.

Read 2: The icons declared a final two at 15:42 and spent the next ten hours shopping for the other's replacement. Dee's line — "It has to be you or me, Devens. What a game" — is the most explicit final-two statement either has made on the feeds. Then at 22:08 she told the camera that if she'd won the veto she'd have taken Drew out, that she's "not counting Taylor out," and that Taylor "would bring me, not Devens." An hour later she was pressing Drew on whether he has a final two with Devens and which of them he'd take; he wouldn't answer, and she called him a little weasel and went to bed. Overnight she told him she'd take him to the end and he'd beat her there, and the two of them agreed out loud that "everyone says Devens is the favorite to win, and they're not wrong."¹ On the other side of the house, right after Dee left a room, Devens made a cutthroat gesture at Drew and floated that he "might" put Dee up instead — "our last chance."¹ Nothing followed it; the sources that saw it read it as a test of where Drew stands, and so do we. But it's the second private signal in two days that Devens knows Dee is the one player he's unsure he beats, and he's now said it to the camera in terms solid enough that we've stopped footnoting it.

So the map is this: the heaviest edge in the house is a declared final two in which each side has, within the same day, named the other as the person to cut and tried to recruit the same third player to do it. Drew is the middleman both icons are auditioning — Dee with a hard probe and an F2 offer, Devens with an apology, a bluff, and "stress-free." Drew's answer to Melody at 22:02 was that he'd take Devens to the end. Dee doesn't have that sentence yet. When she gets it — and the pipeline between Melody and the icons has been leaking one way all week — her Taylor idea stops being a hedge and becomes a plan.

Read 3: Dee held five positions in eighteen hours and the comp result excused her from every one of them. Morning: tells Melody privately she's "considering" using the veto on her if she wins, swears her to secrecy.¹ Same hour: promises Drew she'd take him off the block if she wins, and affirms she'd evict Taylor over Drew if forced.¹ Afternoon: locks a final two with Devens. Night: would have taken Drew out with the veto; wants a final two with Taylor. Later: floats to Drew keeping Melody over Taylor. Pre-dawn: agrees Melody goes.¹ Some of that is genuine ambivalence — she's the safest player in the house and the only one whose route runs entirely through her partner's power. Some of it is the oldest Game 2 trick there is: tell every person on the way out something they'll remember warmly. Her word to Melody is a receipt that costs nothing, because she didn't win. Her promise to Drew was never tested, because he did. The one voice she can't buy with a conditional promise is Devens's, and she gave him the one unconditional statement of the day.

This is her fourth avoidance of a forcing choice in a week, and we've now watched it long enough to say what it is: Dee's decisions get made by comps she doesn't win. That's not a knock on the results — she's at five with two HOHs and no blood on her hands since Mallory — it's a description of where her agency currently lives. Her Taylor idea is the most interesting thing she said all day because it's the first plan of hers that doesn't run through Devens. Taylor "would bring me, not Devens" is a correct read of Taylor, who has now been nominated six times and evicted by no one and has every reason to prefer the icon who never put her up.

Read 4: Melody is about to arrive in the jury house having never been spoken to by the man who evicted her, and the man who comforted her didn't save her. Two days as the stated target; zero game words from the HOH. Devens's only contact with her was a startled double-take at seeing her with Drew and an evening "cake party" — HOH cakes shared with the have-not — which is warm and says nothing. He personally worked Barrett and Yash before cutting them. He hasn't worked her. The likeliest reason is the simplest: Dee is the bad cop this week, and Melody's the one player whose read of him is already fixed by the double — she nominated him, he beat her, and he doesn't think there's anything to buy. But juries price exit treatment above everything, because it's the one event each juror fully witnessed about themselves, and "he never even talked to me" is a sentence that travels. Melody's exit program as it stands: Devens cold-by-silence; Dee warm on a promise that never came due; Taylor warm (they laughed about the renom together, and Taylor spent the small hours telling her to give Drew a chance outside the house — "too skinny," said Melody); Drew, the receipt she's already written — "not enough to use that damn veto on me."¹ Drew's a coin-flip opponent for her and she's the closest thing he has to a warm juror. He spent the week on her, and the one thing she'll carry out is the veto he didn't spend.

Her own campaign never left the human channel: tears in the pod, a skipped dinner, "I'm not leaving now… it's not good enough" to a man who no longer had anything to give her. Nothing to Dee, whose ballot is the only one that could matter. The comp was her plan; the comp was a mummy drag; she called it "the least fun thing I've done."

What the house hasn't priced: the format, still. Every vote call in this edition assumes two nominees, two voters and a tiebreak because that's what the double ran and that's what Devens has been operating on. The Curse was a button and ten thousand dollars and a three-day clock. If Sunday's mechanics differ — a full-house vote, a comp instead of a vote, an evictable HOH — the tiebreak read is wallpaper. Also unpriced: the F4 field. Drew and Dee already said it overnight — "66% you or me are HOH" — which is correct arithmetic if Melody goes and the outgoing HOH sits, and it means the next power is a three-way comp between the two players Devens is trying to hold and the one he'd like to sit next to.

Detailed Timeline

(All times PT, Saturday September 19 unless noted.)

• 09:21 — Setup note: all five houseguests will play the veto; no draw at five.
• 09:51–10:00 — Dee and Devens replay old moves — the Lyric vote flipped "for no reason," Devens saying they've "been playing with house money the whole time." Dee: "It has to be you or me" to win. Analysis note: the morning version of the line she'd say formally at 15:42.
• ~10:23–10:54 — Balcony rounds. Dee tells Melody privately she's considering using the veto on her if she wins, swears her to secrecy.¹ Drew joins; Dee promises to take him off the block if she wins and affirms she'd evict Taylor over Drew if forced; Drew and Dee talk final-three arithmetic — Dee, Devens, Drew.¹ Melody and Drew separately spar over what each owes the other if they win it: "you'll spit in my face."¹ Analysis note: two conditional promises in half an hour, both voided by 15:14. See Read 3.
• ~12:14–15:13 — Feeds down roughly three hours: VETO11. Egyptian tomb-raider obstacle run with a heavy mummy prop; all five compete.
• ★ 15:14 — DREW WINS VETO11. He describes finishing in six minutes "with no finesse." Analysis note: fourth nomination, fourth escape, second veto in eight days. He's locked into the final four under any standard mechanics.
• 15:34–16:09 — Devens communicates the board directly and repeatedly: Taylor must go up as the replacement; Melody remains the target; Taylor is safe barring a Curse surprise; the same to Dee and to Drew, with an apology to Drew for the original nomination — "stress-free" now. To Taylor: he'll break a Dee–Drew tie by evicting Melody and would tolerate a Drew sympathy vote for Melody.¹ Melody, hearing she's still the target, cries in her bed and on the balcony. Melody to Taylor, both laughing darkly: "I'm assuming you're the renom?" Analysis note: the HOH named the tiebreak himself. The formal veto ceremony was not observed on the feeds this window; the outcome is fully communicated and we treat it as pending only in the ritual sense.
• ★ 15:42 — Dee and Devens state a final two on the feeds. Dee: "Next week will be the scariest. It has to be you or me, Devens. What a game." Analysis note: see Read 2 for what each did with the next ten hours.
• 16:15 — Comp debrief: Melody — "the least fun thing I've done… that shit was fucking heavy"; Taylor describes beating the prop on the ground; Drew agrees it was heavy.
• ~17:58–18:04 — A short cut, noted only for what returned with it: Devens making a cutthroat gesture at Drew right after Dee leaves the room, floating that he "might" put Dee up instead — "our last chance."¹ Sources read it as a loyalty test of Drew, not a plan; nothing followed. Analysis note: the setup for the tease likely sits inside the gap. See Read 2.
• 18:35 — Melody to Drew: "I've been through so much to get to this point, I'm not leaving now… it's not good enough." Drew jokes about telling Devens to put Dee up.¹
• 19:03–19:35 — Taylor cooks — fried chicken for have-not Devens, spaghetti and meatballs. Drew and Taylor, warmly: "we like each other… when you're not pissing me off." Taylor's "America's Player" bit about being paid to give Drew a bad haircut; Melody: "I did that shit for free." Analysis note: first positive beat on the Taylor–Drew edge all season; she's on the block and he's a voter, so weigh it accordingly.
• 19:38–19:56 — Melody lying on Drew in the backyard, crying, not ready to leave; mutual "hope we're still friends," half flirtation.¹
• 20:00–20:30 — Prank war: Dee hides Drew's hairbrush in the pool floaties; Drew tears apart Dee's bed, hides her mattress in the have-not room, spells "RIP" in M&Ms on her box spring.¹ Melody skips the group meal, crying under the covers in the pod. Devens: "CAKE PARTY!" — shares his HOH cakes with Melody. Analysis note: the HOH's only warm gesture toward his target in two days, and not a word of game in it.
• 22:02–22:15 — Melody still pressing Drew to use the veto on her; Drew says he'd take Devens to the end. Banter about whether they've kissed — both say no.¹ Taylor performs a step routine and gives a history of Black Greek-letter organizations; she's a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha.
• ★ 22:08 — Dee to camera: "If I won veto, I would have taken Drew out… I'm not counting Taylor out — if I can solidify F2 with her… I think she'd bring me, not Devens." Analysis note: the same woman promised Drew a save in the morning and locked Devens in the afternoon. See Read 3.
• 23:46–23:59 — Dee presses Drew: does he have a final two with Devens, would he take her or Devens; he won't answer. Dee floats keeping Melody over Taylor; asks if Drew would ever put Melody up — he wouldn't. "Goodnight, little weasel."¹
• ~00:00–00:36 (Sun 9/20, placement approximate) — Dee, Drew and Taylor: Drew, on evicting Melody, "whatever makes it easier"; Taylor: "I hate all these MFers, I am not sentimental"; Dee and Drew put the next HOH at "66% you or me"; talk of a final three with Devens and whether Devens would DPOV Dee if he could; Drew explains why Taylor rather than Dee went up as pawn; Taylor reminisces about Day 1 and the buzzer she didn't press.¹ Analysis note: the arithmetic is right if Melody goes and the outgoing HOH sits — a three-player field for the power that decides the final three.
• 00:15–01:55 — Dee to Drew: she'd take him to two and he'd "smash her"; both agree Devens is the favorite "and they're not wrong." Taylor tells Melody to give Drew a chance outside the house; Melody: "he's too skinny for me."¹
• 01:09–01:36 — Devens can't sleep in the HOH room; fiddles with the monitor twice, told "stop that" by production.
• Pre-dawn, Sun 9/20 — Drew and Dee, in the bathroom, agree Melody should be the one evicted.¹ Drew leaves a crying Melody in the pod. Melody to Taylor, of Drew: "He loves you." — "Not enough to use that damn veto on me."¹ Analysis note: the exit narrative, written before the exit. See Read 4.

Late-arriving from Friday (Day 74), dated to the day it happened, not this window: Devens extracted a promise from Taylor that she wouldn't use the veto if she won it, and told the camera he didn't believe her. Melody pitched Dee a final-four plan, and told Drew that had Dee won the double's veto she'd have put up Taylor to make sure Devens left. Taylor told Dee that she and Yash had planned to vote Drew out in the double if they could get Melody to nominate him. Analysis note: the last item is the Dee–Taylor conversation about Drew we listed Friday as a discriminator; it happened and we didn't have it. Dee now holds, from Taylor's own mouth, that Taylor targets Drew — and holds from Drew that he targets nobody and would take Devens.

Alliance Standings

1. Dee–Devens. Declared final two, 15:42, the most explicit statement of it on record — and the most audited edge in the house. Devens's read that he beats everyone but Dee is now solid; Dee's "would bring me, not Devens" on Taylor and her F2 probe of Drew are the same night. Defection cost is still high on eleven weeks of shared history and mutual exposure, and both are pricing the exit. Information class: full strategy, both directions, with each now withholding the one item that matters — who they'd actually cut.

2. Dee–Drew. The heaviest content edge of the night, all of it game: F2 and F3 probing, a Devens-loyalty test Drew declined to pass or fail, an F2 offer Dee made and Drew didn't return, and a pre-dawn agreement on Melody.¹ The prank war runs alongside it as the comic register of the same loyalty test. Leak line: whatever Dee learns here reaches Devens; Drew appears to know it, which is why he wouldn't answer.

3. Devens–Drew. Repaired by the veto: apology, "stress-free," a bluff about Dee that reads as recruitment. Drew has told Melody he'd take Devens to the end. Asymmetric — Devens has said to the camera he needs Drew at four and beats him at two.

4. The Crossovers (Dee, Devens, Drew). Intact on paper, and every pairing inside it is now trying to be the one that survives it. Identity binder only.

5. Dee–Taylor. Thin in content, rising in weight: Dee floated her as a final-two partner to the camera, and Taylor has given Dee her real target (Drew). The pair the icons' pact should fear most, if either of them ever says so to the other.

6. Drew–Melody. Heaviest emotional edge, lightest strategic one, and now written in the past tense by its own participants — "hope we're still friends," "not enough to use that damn veto." If Melody leaves Sunday she carries this into the jury house as her sharpest receipt.

7. Taylor–Melody. Co-nominees who laughed about it; Taylor spent the small hours playing matchmaker. Lighter than Friday's contempt, still no joint plan — and none is possible now that they're against each other.

Conspicuous non-relationships. Devens–Melody: two days, target and HOH, zero game words; a cake, a double-take. The competing explanation — Dee handles the hard conversations by arrangement, and Devens sees nothing to buy — is at least as strong as "he's writing off her jury vote." Taylor–Devens: the renom notification and a safety assurance, nothing beneath it.

Player Status

• Devens: Got the branch he built for — Melody against Taylor with his tiebreak pre-announced — and has still not spoken a word of game to the woman he's evicting; spent the evening testing Drew about Dee.
• Dee: Locked a final two with Devens and then told the camera she'd rather have Taylor; made two conditional promises the comp result excused her from keeping; agreed with Drew before dawn that Melody goes.¹
• Drew: Won the veto in six minutes, is safe into the final four, and holds a ballot Sunday that the HOH has told him he's free to waste on the woman he shares a bed with.
• Melody: Second day as the target, still no conversation with the HOH; ran the human channel on the one voter whose vote can't save her, and has already written her exit line about him.
• Taylor: Sixth nomination, this time as a pawn the HOH has personally promised is safe; "I hate all these MFers, I am not sentimental," and the icon she's never crossed is quietly pricing her as a final-two partner.

Prediction Ledger

Evidence grades: A = said privately and backed by behavior; B = repeated behavior or multiple independent conversations; C = a single statement, possibly performed; D = inference from silence, body language, or the edit.

Resolved this window:

• P356 (Week 11 veto winner — Devens 30 / Drew 25 / Melody 20 / Dee 15 / Taylor 10): Drew, at 25. Above the 20 base rate for a five-player field; the 30 on Devens was the miss inside the distribution, and the comp — a heavy physical run — was the one type the recent puzzle-and-dexterity calendar hadn't shown.
• P365 (Devens and Melody have a direct game conversation before the veto ceremony): NO at 55%. The ceremony ritual hasn't been observed, but the board has been fully communicated to every party but her, and the window this was written for has effectively closed. A miss on the high side; the basis leaned on his habit of warming Barrett and Yash before cutting them. Booked below.
• VOID — branch not reached: P357 (Devens wins veto), P360 and P361 (nominations stand), P362 (Melody wins veto).
• VOID — condition unreachable: P366 (Dee and Taylor identical ballots, if both vote). Taylor is the replacement nominee and does not vote.
• RESOLVING, held for the ceremony: P358 (Drew or Melody wins and uses it → Taylor replacement, 80%) and P359 (Drew wins → uses it on himself, 90%). Every party has been told the outcome; the formal ceremony itself wasn't observed. Scored when it is, or at the live show.
• PENDING, now the live branch: P363 (Drew veto + Taylor renom → Melody evicted, 70%) — scored on its own number Sunday. P364 (Curse evictee: Melody 55 / Taylor 22 / Drew 18 / Dee 4 / Devens 1) and P353 (pre-nomination aggregate) — scored on their own numbers Sunday. P355 (Taylor–Melody joint game content before the eviction) — contact yes, no joint plan; open until the eviction. P292, P354 — jury-class, open.

New predictions. Vote calls assume the standard structure — two nominees, two voters, HOH tiebreak — and are struck, not scored, if the Curse format differs.

Booked this edition. A pre-announced tiebreak is a free ballot: when the HOH tells the voters how the tie goes, each voter's dissent costs nothing in the outcome and pays at the jury door — price sympathy keeps up accordingly. Comfort goes where the ballots are: the HOH's warming habit tracks whose vote or jury vote he still needs, not who he's cutting — a target he's written off gets a cake and silence. A conditional promise is priced at the comp odds: a save "if I win" from a player who wins at base rate is a receipt, not a commitment, and the comp result — not the promiser — decides whether it's ever tested.

The Counter-Read

The lead read says Sunday is settled — Melody goes, the only open item is whether Drew spends a free ballot on her — and that the real game has moved to the icons auditing each other. The honest case against it has three legs. First, the format, which is the same leg as yesterday and no weaker: the Curse has produced a button, a prize, a short clock and a "Nominations Today" screen, and nothing else. Devens's tiebreak is only pre-announced under rules he's assuming. If the eviction is decided by all four non-HOHs, Melody and Taylor vote, Drew's sympathy ballot stops being decorative, and the count is Melody–Drew against Dee–Taylor — a 2–2 with no tiebreak rule the house has been told. If it's decided by a comp, the target is whoever's worst at it. Second, Dee. We've called her ballot near-certain because she's voted with Devens's target twice and locked a final two with him — but the same woman told the camera six hours after that lock that she wants Taylor, then floated keeping Melody to Drew an hour after that. Her stated reason for wanting Taylor is that Taylor would carry her; a Melody who survives Sunday is a Melody who has beaten Devens twice and wants him gone, which is a far better instrument for a player who says she'll cut Devens at three. If Dee's actual objective is Devens's eviction rather than her own comfort, Melody is the vote, and a Dee–Drew keep is a 2–0 the HOH can't touch. We price that low because Dee has never once chosen the forcing option when a comp result let her avoid it — but "never once" is a small count and Sunday is the first time avoiding it means voting out the one player who'd do her work for her. Third, the read on Devens–Melody as writing off a juror. The competing explanation is that there's simply nothing to say: she nominated him, he beat her in the same hour, and Dee is running the conversations by arrangement. Silence toward a target who already knows is not the same as silence toward one who might be moved. Discriminators inside twenty-four hours: the format announcement, whether Dee has a single conversation with Melody about the vote before the show, whether Drew's ballot is a keep, and whether the goodbye messages — if aired — show Devens saying to Melody's face what he never said in the house.

Retrospective

Grading the September 19 edition against this window, ex ante branches preserved.

• Read 1 (Devens built a board where he casts the deciding vote; the house hasn't named the tiebreak; the real exposure is Taylor): process-right, outcome-right, with one line inverted. The veto moved, Taylor is the replacement, the HOH decides. But we wrote that nobody had said the word "tiebreak"; by 16:09 the HOH had said it himself, to the pawn, as reassurance. The house still hasn't named it as a problem — it's been named as a promise.
• Read 2 (Drew's pledge stack inverted; his only risk is two voters agreeing; the costless save promise gets kept): process-right, outcome-consistent, risk untested. Drew removed his own exposure by winning; the Dee–Taylor 2–0 we flagged never had a chance to form, and the veto-save promise was never called. We can't score whether the icons would have honored it.
• Read 3 (Melody's repair routed to the wrong room; zero game talk with the HOH): process-right, outcome-right. Second full day of it. Her campaign ran entirely on Drew, who couldn't help her, and on a comp she called the least fun thing she's done.
• Read 4 (Dee avoided the forcing choice for the third time; the icons are auditing each other): process-right, outcome-right. A fourth avoidance, five positions in a day, and the audit went public in both directions — Dee's camtalk and Devens's gesture. The Devens self-assessment we footnoted is now solid.
• "What the house hasn't priced" (the Curse): still open. The house's bet that it's a normal week has held for two days and is not yet tested.
• Counter-read discriminators: format — unannounced; veto winner — Drew, not the one-in-five Melody path; Dee–Taylor conversation about Drew — it happened on Friday and reached us a day late, which is a coverage miss rather than a read miss; Devens–Melody — no.
• Predictions: P356 hit at 25 against a 20 base rate, with the excess weight on the wrong favorite. P365 missed at 55 — a process miss: the basis generalized a comfort habit from two cases without asking whether the habit tracks the target or the vote. Booked. P366 struck as unreachable — we wrote a Dee–Taylor ballot pairing in an edition whose own Read 1 said Taylor is the renom in every veto branch; the condition should have been written as branch-conditional. Four branches voided cleanly. P358 and P359 held for the ceremony ritual rather than scored on stated intent.
• Hard-record hygiene: one hard event booked to Saturday — the veto result at its on-feed confirmation, 15:14. The veto use and replacement are carried as the communicated board, not as a ceremony, until one is observed. Friday's late-arriving items are dated to Friday. No broadcast aired in the window; nothing is dated from one, and podcast recap material was set aside as non-timeline.

Coverage: September 19, 05:54 PT → September 20, 05:54 PT. Regime call: FINAL FIVE, CURSE WEEK, HOH DECIDES — DREW WON VETO11 (15:14); the HOH communicated the replacement (TAYLOR) to every party by 16:09 and pre-announced a Melody tiebreak; the formal ceremony was not observed; the Sunday board is Melody vs. Taylor, voters Dee and Drew; Curse mechanics remain undisclosed; eviction due Sunday night, September 20. Confidence ceilings: nomination calls in a forced-board structure up to 92%, vote calls at 88% given a pre-announced tiebreak, flip calls capped at 60%, comp outcomes priced at base rates, jury-class forecasts argued only from what jurors actually witnessed; all vote calls carry a format caveat and are struck if the Curse format differs. Evidence grades: A = said privately and backed by behavior; B = repeated behavior or multiple independent conversations; C = a single statement, possibly performed; D = inference from silence, body language, or the edit. ¹ Thin sourcing: single-source, an ambiguous name, or an unclear timestamp. Unmarked claims are solidly sourced.
