## Claims (with timestamps)
Record each practical claim with its timestamp and the conditions shown in the
video (crop, method, tools, scale). Do not paraphrase away uncertainty.

- `0:00:00–0:02:15` Claim 1 (as shown: tools X, method Y, seeds Z)
- `0:02:16–0:05:00` Claim 2
…

## Our assessment
- Practical relevance: {high / medium / low} — small-scale manual applicability
- Specificity: {crop and step matched?}
- Method transparency: {is the technique clearly shown?}
- Independence: {channel type: hobby grower, commercial, sponsored?}
- Corroboration: {source ids that corroborate or contradict}
- Quality caveats: {editing, omissions, unverifiable steps}

## Assigned evidence level
- Level: {Known | Strong | Moderate | Limited | Anecdotal | Conflicting | Unknown}
  (Practical video claims default to Limited/Anecdotal unless corroborated.)
- Type: practical
- Rationale:

## Where used
- Crop pages / structured data / open questions (as in academic-source.md)

## Notes
- Anything not visible on screen, transcript hints, follow-up videos.
