## Where it stands

**Most likely** Its tests partly supported it: two pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Every message accepted by solvers as genuine verifies against the key.
- Unsigned claims are inconsistent with the signed material.

## What would rule it out

- An unsigned item later acknowledged in a signed message as genuine.
