Unvalidated Leads: Additional scanner, social, forecast-only, and location-ambiguous items were not promoted.
Rejected Candidates: duplicates from the prior report; events outside the assigned counties; events outside the window without an in-window publication/development; routine planned activity; snippet-only items lacking minimum detail.
Severity Counts: High=4; Medium=0; Low=0
Source Gap Notes: Blocked-source recovery used exact-claim queries and alternate readable sources. Provisional entries retain explicit caveats and require follow-up.
Recommended Follow-Up: Revisit provisional items and inaccessible agency feeds on the next run; deduplicate late-arriving reports against this logical key.
