Case note: when INDETERMINATE is the right answer

Professional verification isn’t about always giving a confident label — it’s about giving a defensible one.

CanonProof returns INDETERMINATE when:

  • The format prevents extracting enough signal
  • Signals conflict (some authentic, some suspicious)
  • Quality is too low to assess confidently

The certificate still documents what was checked, what failed, and what limited confidence.
