Modelling preprint: transients reported depleted near the ecliptic (citing Doherty 2026a)

what the source states: The source states that while natural Solar-System populations concentrate near the ecliptic, the Palomar "transients instead exhibit a depletion near the ecliptic", attributing the spatial-distribution constraint to Doherty [2026a].
what we infer: This is a secondary statement; the primary analysis is attributed to SRC-DOHERTY-2026, whose text was not shown in this pass. Recorded weak; the primary record should be extracted from Doherty when read.
limitations: Secondary citation within the source; primary not shown here

an honest empty state

This claim is in the ledger but not in the current edition's featured set. Nothing here has been assessed — that absence is information, not an oversight.

Still missing: plain-language gloss, credibility assessment, diagnosticity assessment, strongest objection, what would change our mind. A claim gains them when an edition features it and the edition's adopted assessment supplies the full treatment — a decision the panel reviews, not a field anyone flips.
