Hierarchical Bayesian Network
A hierarchical Bayesian network is a probabilistic graphical model that organizes variables across multiple levels of abstraction. Higher-level nodes govern the prior distributions of lower-level nodes through hyperparameters, enabling structured sharing of information across groups, contexts, or data subsets while preserving the directed acyclic graph (DAG) representation of conditional dependencies.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
