How this market settles
What could still go wrong
- 'Issuance' date is not explicitly defined in the description, creating ambiguity about the start boundary for qualifying meetings
- 'Directly communicate or interact' is not precisely defined — the threshold for what constitutes sufficient direct interaction versus mere proximity could be disputed
- No specific official source or documentation standard is specified for confirming that direct interaction occurred
- The phrase 'documented' is subjective — it is unclear what type or quality of documentation (video, official statement, credible news report) would suffice for resolution
Evidence you can inspect These labels describe how a claim relates to the question. They are not recommendations or independent votes.
