Every event is presented with its Shia evidence and its Sunni evidence side by side, the Arabic as printed, the gradings of the scholars who gave them, and the disagreements left visible. A dossier is published only after editorial review, and what has not been obtained is stated instead of filled.
Evidence first
Each record says what it supports and what it does not. A narration's presence in a collection is never read as that tradition's endorsement of a doctrine.
Both traditions shown
Shia and Sunni sources are labelled and filtered separately, including where a Sunni collection preserves the Shia argument and where it does not.
Review recorded, not implied
Nine review stages are tracked per dossier. Until a qualified reviewer approves them, the dossier says so on the page itself.

Ghadir Khumm and the succession of Imam Ali
On the return from the farewell pilgrimage the Prophet halted a large caravan at the pool of Khumm, raised the hand of Ali ibn Abi Talib and said: 'Whoever I am his mawla, this Ali is his mawla.' Shia and Sunni collections both preserve the sentence. What is disputed is what mawla means there, and whether the occasion appoints a successor.
Listed so the plan is visible. None of these is written, and none is shown as available until its evidence has been gathered and reviewed.
