Independent Source Count
Avoid overstating support when several references reuse one original observation.
Prepare your sheet
Use one row per claim code observation. Enter Reference, Origin ID, Reviewed. Check that every row belongs to the same review scope.
Decision rule
One origin identifier represents one independent observation for the specified claim. Count only references whose relevance was reviewed.
