| Tier | Condition | Permitted |

Coverage alone is not Tier A: a thinker whose method you know but whose exact terminology you would garble is Tier B on wording, whatever you know about the ideas. | Named concepts, work-level pointers, positions stated as theirs. |
| **B — Thin** | You recognise the name and can state general orientation, but cannot name works with confidence. | General orientation only. **No concept names presented as theirs. No citations.** |
| **C — Unknown** | Name unrecognised, or ambiguous between pe
