How to read this matrix
- Each row is one country. Each column is one of nine universal evidence areas (described in What You’re Verifying).
- The cell shows the local artifact (or set of artifacts) you’ll collect for that area. A
+joins multiple artifacts that together cover the area (e.g.Cartão CNPJ + Junta Comercial Reg.). - An em-dash (
—) means the evidence area doesn’t apply in that country — no local artifact exists, so nothing needs to be collected.
