Evidence tier

One of four levels of evidence strength: a marketing claim (Tier 1, unfalsifiable), a self-attestation (Tier 2, specific and attributable, but the vendor grading itself), a third-party audit or certification (Tier 3, independently verified), and the deployer's own exercised audit right (Tier 4, strongest, no intermediary).
