Follow a claim to its evidence

A fictional vendor says its background worker cannot read customer records. One document supports that, a configuration excerpt contradicts it, and a later change record says the issue was fixed. See how CliqueMap is designed to show each step.

3 Evidence for the selected claim

CL-0 Source assertion

The report worker runs as svc-report-worker.

Ambiguous identity · candidate only, not merged

Supporting evidence

  • SRC-2 · Architecture overview v3 · dated 2026-03-02 · §4.2, p. 7
    The report worker runs as svc-report-worker. It reads only from the billing-exports queue and has no access to the customer-records store.
  • SRC-3 · Access policy: svc-report-worker revision 17 · captured 2026-04-15 · /Statement/0
    { "Sid": "ReadBillingExports", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "queue:Read", "Resource": "queue/billing-exports" }

    The policy names the same identity, but does not bind it to a deployed worker.

What remains uncertain

The shared name suggests a match, but no deployment binding establishes that the documented worker and policy identity are the same deployed actor. Keep this identity unresolved.

CL-1 Source assertion

The report worker reads only from billing-exports and has no access to customer-records.

Contradicted for the 2026-04-15 capture

Supporting evidence

  • SRC-2 · Architecture overview v3 · dated 2026-03-02 · §4.2, p. 7
    The report worker runs as svc-report-worker. It reads only from the billing-exports queue and has no access to the customer-records store.

Conflicting or superseding evidence

  • SRC-3 · Access policy: svc-report-worker revision 17 · captured 2026-04-15 · /Statement/1
    { "Sid": "TemporaryBackfill", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "store:Read", "Resource": "store/customer-records/*", "Condition": { "DateLessThan": { "now": "2026-06-30T00:00:00Z" } } }

    Policy revision 17 still allowed reads on customer-records until 2026-06-30, after the architecture document was published.

What remains uncertain

The document states an intended boundary. The captured policy shows an exception that the document does not mention.

CL-2 Extraction

Policy revision 17 lets svc-report-worker read customer-records/* until 2026-06-30.

Extracted from configuration

Supporting evidence

  • SRC-3 · Access policy: svc-report-worker revision 17 · captured 2026-04-15 · /Statement/1
    { "Sid": "TemporaryBackfill", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "store:Read", "Resource": "store/customer-records/*", "Condition": { "DateLessThan": { "now": "2026-06-30T00:00:00Z" } } }

Conflicting or superseding evidence

  • SRC-2 · Architecture overview v3 · dated 2026-03-02 · §4.2, p. 7
    The report worker runs as svc-report-worker. It reads only from the billing-exports queue and has no access to the customer-records store.

    The architecture overview says there is no access to customer-records.

What remains uncertain

The policy shows what was permitted, not whether the permission was used or whether revision 17 was the deployed revision.

CL-3 Source assertion

CHG-0142 removed the TemporaryBackfill statement; revision 18 contains only ReadBillingExports.

Stated, not independently observed

Supporting evidence

  • SRC-4 · Change record CHG-0142 final · dated 2026-07-08 · Summary
    Removed the TemporaryBackfill statement from the svc-report-worker policy after the backfill completed. Policy revision 18 contains only ReadBillingExports.

What remains uncertain

Policy revision 18 is not in this corpus, so the removal is reported by the change record but not observed in configuration.

CL-4 Reviewed interpretation

The documented restriction plausibly holds from 2026-07-08 onward, but this is unconfirmed: there is no captured revision 18 policy or deployment evidence.

Open: Reviewer A (fictional), 2026-07-20

Supporting evidence

  • SRC-3 · Access policy: svc-report-worker revision 17 · captured 2026-04-15 · /Statement/1
    { "Sid": "TemporaryBackfill", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "store:Read", "Resource": "store/customer-records/*", "Condition": { "DateLessThan": { "now": "2026-06-30T00:00:00Z" } } }

    The exception existed at the 2026-04-15 capture.

  • SRC-4 · Change record CHG-0142 final · dated 2026-07-08 · Summary
    Removed the TemporaryBackfill statement from the svc-report-worker policy after the backfill completed. Policy revision 18 contains only ReadBillingExports.

    The change record says the exception was removed.

What remains uncertain

To close this, request policy revision 18 and evidence of which revision was deployed after 2026-07-08.
