Record a passage, applicable conditions and unresolved questions. The worksheet supplies no detector accuracy or biological measurement.","paragraphs":["The announcement is a starting point for examining provenance claims. It does not settle whether a particular detector result can be relied on in a different population, sequence workflow or transformation. A buyer needs the underlying method and its applicable conditions before treating a flag as evidence.","Use this worksheet alongside the evidence checklist above. Leave a row unresolved when the necessary source or applicable test is absent. No hypothetical sensitivity, specificity or prevalence is presented as evidence about SynthID Bio. A watermark does not itself establish biological safety, ownership, authorization or a clinical conclusion."],"headers":["Decision boundary","Record from the applicable evidence","What remains unresolved until recorded"],"rows":[["Watermark and detector","Exact technique, detector version and access conditions","Whether the reader can obtain and reproduce the detection method"],["Transformation or removal","Tested transformation, parameters and result in the paper or methods","Survival under an untested transformation"],["False positives and population","Reported rates, evaluation population and operating threshold","Interpretation in a different population or prevalence"],["Protein function","Specific measured function, test conditions and comparator","Preserved function outside the tested setting"],["Operational use","Applicable deployment documentation and permitted use","Authority, safety or legal conclusions from a flag alone"]],"limits":"A source-reading and procurement worksheet, not a biological experiment, validated detector, scientific peer review, clinical recommendation or product benchmark.
