Trace a claim back to its primary source
This layer does not decide what is true. It reconstructs where a statement first appeared, what documents exist, how they were published and what remains unanswered — so that you can read the evidence yourself.

Assessment of the available evidence
No published document in the evidence file contains a first-year cost of 90M. The dossier gives a phased implementation cost range of 18–24M. The origin of the figure could not be traced to any primary source.
This assessment describes what the indexed documents contain. It is not a ruling on truth; the documents are linked so you can read them directly.
