Observation and evidence
Funding may be institutional, grant-based, programme-based or contractual. Publication count alone does not measure research quality, applicability or public benefit.

Public significance
University teaching and research overlap, but institutions do not have equal research intensity. Access to equipment, data, mentors and international networks varies among institutions.

Uncertainty and risk
A claim about a scientific result requires the specific work, method and limitations. A university ranking is an external comparison model and does not replace checking the programme needed.

Chronology
Chronology does not apply. The dossier describes a system; observations and assessments have their own dates and methods.
Citation-ready reuse
Research occurs in universities, institutes and laboratories; publications, people, infrastructure and reusable datasets measure different aspects of the system.
