Deployment scope
What this search is about.
The owner of this deployment declares the vertical. Every search here runs inside that policy — it is what the search engine is, not a default a reader dismisses.
Active vertical policy — declared, dated
owner-defined- admitted topics
- admitted source classes
- included domains
- excluded domains
- languages · countries
A reader's own filters, pins and blocks narrow this policy inside itself. They never widen it: a domain the owner left out stays out of every result list on this deployment.

First-party assessment
A score must show its work.
Acervo’s own assessment stays empty until current observations support it.
Acervo authority — evidence, dated
evidence register- contribution
- observation · source
- confidence
- measured date
Without a current assessment, the register reads not measured — never zero and never a borrowed metric.
Retrieval provenance
Owned material is checked first.
A coverage or freshness gap can open bounded external lookup. Returned material rejoins one organic list; it does not replace it.

Evidence-bound companion
The answer may refuse. Results stay.
The companion changes state independently. The organic list beside it keeps the same rows, order, and position.
