-In other words, what you claim about your data is up to you. Examples could be
+A minimal statement encodes the following claim: the data has cryptographic hash

_everyone gets the same news articles_,
_software package X builds reproducibly_, or
_a list of key-value pairs is maintained with policy Y_.
-Sigsum logging makes it reasonable to believe these claims by adding enough
