!Read data provenance ↗
Data depth without invented certainty.
The dossier can explain the use vocabulary, plant identity, source depth and available preparation links. It still does not prove effectiveness or supply a missing plant part, dose, route or contraindication. Hazardous records remain searchable as data, never as recommendations.
