Verification status summarizes what kind of confirmation has occurred. Field provenance explains how each fact is known. Evidence strength describes the support behind a claim. None substitutes for the others.
STATUS / SOURCE / SCOPE
STATUS / 01
Five Program statuses
UNVERIFIED
Information not yet verified Source confirmation is limited or insufficient. Unknowns remain explicit.
IDENTITY-CONFIRMED
Program identity confirmed Program and operator identity have been confirmed. This does not mean every Program detail has been reviewed.
OPERATOR-CONFIRMED
Operator confirmed An authorized operator representative has reviewed or submitted Program information. Individual fields retain operator attribution.
EDITORIALLY-REVIEWED
Editorially reviewed SUMMERCAMP has reviewed important facts and supporting sources. Specific fields may still be unknown or operator stated.
FIELD-REVIEWED
Field review completed Used only after a defined SUMMERCAMP Field Review protocol has actually been completed, with date, scope and limitations published.
EVIDENCE / 02
Evidence strength remains separate
UNKNOWN
There is not enough evidence to characterize the claim.
DESCRIPTIVE
Material describes an intention or practice but does not prove an outcome.
FIELD-OBSERVATION
A first-hand observation recorded within a stated time and scope.
REPEATED-FIELD-EVIDENCE
Repeated field records across more than one time or context.
RESEARCH-SUPPORTED
Relevant research supports a limited, explicitly stated claim.
01
Field-level
Age may be operator stated, dates source confirmed and physical demand editorially classified. One summary status never erases those distinctions.
02
Field Review
Field-reviewed status is not used until a formal protocol, completion date, observation scope and limitations exist. First-hand records may remain field-observation evidence.
03
No guarantee
A status does not rate a Program as safe, best or suitable for every family, and does not guarantee future operations or participant outcomes.
