What it is
JFK is the lab's flagship graded-evidence case: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, laid out claim by claim against the primary documents. What the record proves, what the investigating bodies concluded, and what remains unproven are kept separate on purpose, so a reader can see exactly where the evidence ends and interpretation begins.
The case is published as a newspaper-style edition: a draft report, the evidence room, transcripts, the case record, a deep-dig section for the long questions, and a full source list. It reads like a paper from November 23, 1963 that had time to check every line.
How it is graded
Primary sources only, and proven claims first. Every statement carries one of five grades, earned from the documents themselves rather than from later summaries. No conclusion is borrowed from another investigation without being graded on its own record.
- ProvenA contemporaneous primary record establishes it.
- DocumentedA credible official record exists; interpretation stays open.
- UnprovenTestimony or claim only; nothing corroborating has surfaced.
- MisidentifiedReal, but attached to the wrong thing, date, place, or person.
- FabricatedA proven hoax, forgery, or false claim.
