Source-chain latency

Lead-time ledger

Lead-time is measured to test our source-chain latency, not to claim universal first-publication status. The lead-time ledger compares verified outlet publication timestamps with the first Radar Six observation timestamp for the same claim.

How this is computed

The verified sample is small and grows only as rows clear operator verification. Read the medians as early signal, not a settled track record.

1 candidate row withheld pending operator verification.

Evidence to verdict

Lead time measures who published first. This table measures what the desk does with the evidence afterwards: how long each claim takes to move from first captured observation to a verdict on the ladder. A published report is not a verdict; outlet rows above carry publication timestamps only.
