This document lists external evidence that should be added or strengthened before making stronger public historical claims about Canal Barra.
The repository already has a coherent internal archival structure. This file prevents the project from presenting founder memory, internal metadata or pending source references as fully external verification.
Gaps are explicit by design. The archive should not invent bibliographic or archival metadata.
already_available: represented in the repository with usable source paths or metadata.
partially_available: mentioned or partly represented, but needs stronger source recovery.
missing: needed but not yet present.
priority: high, medium or low.

Do not upgrade a claim from founder_statement or pending_verification to external_verified_fact until the repository contains the external source path, citation or archive record.
When evidence is missing, use TODO, pending confirmation or an explicit evidence gap. Do not fabricate ISBNs, DOIs, URLs, dates, institutional links or independent confirmation.
