Evidence levels

Four levels, one floor, and a date on every page: that is the whole method.

Scope of this page

How Beautiful Light Base labels confirmed, published, reported and unconfirmed information, and where its public floor sits.

A statement on this site carries a level. The level says how the statement is supported and what it is allowed to mean, not how likely it is to be true.

The public floor is reported. Confirmed, published and reported material may appear when its record is complete; unconfirmed material is not used to establish a page that can be indexed.

Levels

What each level requires

A level is not an opinion about how likely a statement is to be true. It describes the record behind it, and the record is what a reader can check.

The distinction that matters most on an unreleased game sits between the first two. A storefront field is true today and can be checked in a second. An announced mechanic has been published by its studio and cannot be checked at all, because the thing does not exist yet. Giving both the same label would let an intention read as a delivered feature.

  • Confirmed

    True and checkable today: a field a storefront displays, a channel the studio declares as its own, a publication that has taken place, or this site's own method. Requires the source, the publication date when known, the consultation date, and the scope of the field.

  • Published

    A statement an authority has published about something that does not exist yet — an announced mechanic, a planned map, an equipment category the studio calls planned. It is shown with its source and date, and it never means the thing has been delivered.

  • Reported

    Observed or stated by an identifiable third party, or a dated historical official statement. Requires attribution, date, and the condition that limits it.

  • Unconfirmed

    Rumour, leak, inference, unattributed comment, capture without provenance, or old data reused as a current state. Not publishable here.

Why four, not three

An announced map is not a confirmed map

This site ran on three levels until September 2026. The problem showed up on the maps section: the studio has announced two maps for Early Access, the page said so with its source and its limits — and the label above it read Confirmed.

The text carried the nuance, but a label is more visible than a paragraph. A reader scanning the page would take a plan for a delivered feature. Published was added for exactly that case, and the maps, equipment, progression, raid, operator and anomaly pages moved to it.

Dates

Every page states the day it was arrested

Each page displays the most recent consultation date behind it. That date is the page's as-of date: it says when the facts were last read at their source, not when the page was written.

Pages are re-checked on a fixed window that depends on their level, and the list of pages due for re-checking is computed from the data rather than kept by hand.

Limit

What a pre-release site cannot say

Beautiful Light is not released and no playable build has been extracted for this site. No page states a route, a statistic, a build, or an in-game location, and a section that would normally give advice says what is known and what is not instead.
