Event identity

Marine anomaly — Nikoi regional system

Historical marine pollution intelligence case in the Riau–Lingga / Singapore approaches system. Detection and geometry are retained as source claims. Vessel association is candidate-level only.

Why?

Source-assigned 100% detection certainty is retained as a claim, not re-labelled as system confirmation.
Vessel association confidence is separate from detection confidence.
Causal attribution remains low — association is not causation.
Location source claims disagree; spatial confidence is capped.

Attribution boundary

Candidate sources are listed separately. This event remains valid even if all vessel associations are later refuted.
