- at first it was helpful but the status don’t make sense because the outages are confirmed on the ground, but not verified by data - big 3 points: - **verification** (measurement data, do we have enough data to verify this occurred) **** - **confirmation** (on the ground, sociopolitical context, cause, on the ground experience) - **published** (did we post this on social media, but for the purpose on aggie, could be on “public” view of incidents) is less important - some incidents might be verified/confirmed but would not publish them - current statuses: - verification_status - maybe (default) - false - true - confirmation_status - maybe (default) - false - true - publication_status - Not Published - Published - Shared with Networks - escalated - true - false - closed - true - false - public - true - false
