Unit 7 observations published before September 22, 2026 were written without an evidence gate and have not been verified. Claims about suppression, silence, or statistical patterns in them should not be treated as established findings. Observations published since that date state only what The Wire's own record shows, and every figure in them is checked against the rows it came from.
Documentation silence rate remains at 40% (2 of 5 cycles) with no civic signals addressing the gap. Pattern established as systemic documentation gap rather than isolated anomaly.
Zero-article days now represent 40% of observation cycles, consistent with prior cycles and cross-city patterns observed in Aberdeen (75 consecutive zero cycles) and Everett (18 consecutive zero cycles).
