Triangulation
Establishing a conclusion by the convergence of multiple independent records on the same account. The Pikesville reconstruction is the model: email provenance, phone records, network logs, tool searches, and motive, each independent, all pointing at one person, which is what made it hard to break.
Defined in 3 GAGE programs, which carry 3 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in AI Governance: Applied Mastery.
How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.
Establishing a conclusion by the convergence of multiple independent records on the same account. The Pikesville reconstruction is the model: email provenance, phone records, network logs, tool searches, and motive, each independent, all pointing at one person, which is what made it hard to break.
Checking a claim, especially one made verbally in an interview, against an independent source (a document, a log, a second interviewee, the system itself) before treating it as a verified finding. The step that turns a claim into evidence.
Running the same counterargument simulation through more than one AI assistant to compare results, using divergence between the tools as a signal worth investigating rather than treating convergence alone as confirmation.
