A large dataset is not automatically an evidentiary record. Evidence becomes decision-useful when its source, timing, relationship to other records, and limitations can be explained.
In complex matters, the analytical task is often less about finding one dramatic transaction and more about preserving provenance while reconstructing how thousands of records relate to one another.
The practical standard is traceability: a reader should be able to move from an analytical statement back to the underlying record and understand the reasoning that connects them.
