Jackknife Estimation
Jackknife estimation is a classical resampling technique that computes the bias and variance of a statistical estimator by systematically leaving out one observation at a time and re-computing the statistic on each reduced sample. Introduced by Maurice Quenouille in 1956 for bias correction and extended by John Tukey in 1958 who coined the name, it is the historical predecessor of the bootstrap and remains analytically tractable for smooth, differentiable estimators.

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.
