Distinguish evidence count from evidence strength

Read the strength of each piece independently. Several weak pieces should not be silently converted into one strong piece in an evidence plan.

Inspect the right state

Record the source, alleged act and displayed strength for every piece you hold. The 0.4.1 correction specifically addresses receiving multiple weak pieces instead of one strong piece, so a list length is not a reliable substitute for the strength field.

Make the decision

Inspect the relevant law and any displayed deadline before choosing a legal action. Evidence acquisition, an accusation and a verdict are different steps. An official fix for evidence generation does not establish that every act is witnessed or every accusation is valid.

Verify the result

Keep the original pieces intact in your observation log. If reporting an unexpected result, include the event response and actual evidence tooltip; avoid summarizing it only as a total number of evidence points.

Read the evidence correctly

Official patch notes establish the shipped changes they name. Secondary figures remain attributed reference values until checked in the installed game.
