Core Skills

Build an Israel Dossier Source File

Turn the Israel dossier into a source ledger where every claim has a source class, access date, confidence label, and publishability note.

Course thesis

Build an Israel Dossier source file by reducing each claim to a source row, classifying the evidence, preserving attribution boundaries, auditing legal and humanitarian language, and leaving a publishable file another editor can verify.

Moderate 1-7 days

Core brief

Search intent

People search for Israel dossier evidence workflows because the public record is high-risk, fast-moving, and easy to misstate when source classes are blended.

First action

Extract one statistic, one incident claim, one aid figure, and one legal claim into a source ledger before writing prose.

Outcome

A reusable Israel dossier source file with claim text, source class, confidence label, access date, and next verification step

Proof standard

Progress means a skeptical editor can trace every number, legal term, and incident claim from prose back to the source row without guessing.

Before you start

One Israel dossier claim narrow enough to test.
A source ledger for claim text, source class, custodian, date, URL, access date, confidence label, and open question.
A rule that no claim moves into public copy until its evidence tier and source boundary are explicit.

Official checkpoints

Use Congressional Research Service, UN OCHA, UNICEF as the first source ladder before relying on commentary, screenshots, reposts, or unsourced summaries.
A dossier without claim-level source rows will eventually blur reported figures, verified records, estimates, and analysis.
Treat claim rows, source classes, confidence labels, access dates, and open questions as the proof threshold.

Tools: claim ledger, source class taxonomy, access-date column, confidence label, publishability note

Institutions: Congressional Research Service, UN OCHA, UNICEF, Committee to Protect Journalists
