Research and attribution

Each factual claim, statistic, quotation, photograph, logo, and video should be traceable to a source. Before presenting or republishing:

1. add slide-level citations;
2. add a SOURCES.md bibliography;
3. record image and video ownership/licensing;
4. distinguish fact, analysis, and opinion;
5. date statistics and explain uncertainty;
6. give sensitive political and safety claims an additional verification pass.
