Truth grade
Documented — from a primary record
DOCUMENTED in the project's grading system means the entry is sourced to a primary source.
This entry pairs the DOCUMENTED fraud with its LEGEND-grade popular version (“a live AI video meeting”) — Hong Kong's Secretary for Security later clarified the clips were pre-recorded, with no interaction. The correction runs inside the entry.
