The source bodies captured at publish time for The piece I am about to describe exists in one version. It was filed by a Turkish state wire service at 11:18 UTC on July 26 and it reports — sourced to anonymous Pakistani government officials — that Pakistan and Qatar have drafted a joint formula to end the Iran-US war and that Washington and Tehran have each sent a response back through the mediators. I have the URL. I have the byline: Aamir Latif, Istanbul. What I do not have is a second newsroom that carried the same information, in any language, inside the fifteen-source corpus I froze later that same hour. — each with the quoted spans highlighted at their character offsets. This is the frozen record the audit was checked against.
