Map status vs lifecycle
thecontinuitylayer.com/glossary/map-status-vs-lifecycleThe definition
Two separate scales on the map. Map status (Active, Emerging, Mature, Unclear, Watchlist) measures how settled a part of the field is; lifecycle (Current, Awaiting-replication, Disputed, Superseded, Retracted, Historical) records what has happened to a source’s specific result. A map-status token is never used as an evidence verdict.
The same words the glossary hub and the public data mirror carry; this page is the stable address for the term.
