What this check doesn’t establish

  • The page refuses automated requests (HTTP 403) and was read in a browser.
  • The text is the architects' own description, not independent reporting. It gives 2017 as the completion year, where the project sheet gives delivery in 2016.

Confidence applies to the scope above, not every claim made by the underlying source. How confidence works
