Attribution requires either the country stated in the asset record name, or an externally Sourced enrichment record carrying a named primary source plus independent corroboration (no inference — text-inference attribution was built, tested, and withdrawn pre-deploy after verification caught false positives; see the audit log). 47 distinct platform assets remain Absent pending continuation of the record-enrichment pass (duplicate-flagged records excluded from this count as of v2.22.0). Full asset layer on the platform.
