Research Review: Confidence Assessment

This document records the confidence level assigned to each major claim in the dossier at the time of compilation. Claims are divided into three categories: established, probable, and provisional. Established claims include: Blanche Denise Ferrero-Willmann born Saint-Denis c.1880; married Felix Jacques Ferrero, Paris, 22 March 1898; family emigration to the United States, 1907; US Patent 1,837,958 filed 29 March 1930 and granted 22 December 1931; Rembrandt Bugatti died 8 January 1916. The probable claim is that the portrait was made circa 1904. Provisional claims include the exact birth date, cast-specific provenance, and the full Ferrero-Rodin workshop connection. Any public correction note derived from this dossier should reflect these confidence levels precisely.
