Confidence justification: Medium: primary anchors are distinctive form titles and statutory terms, but they also appear in guidance, blank forms and statistics, so enforce tiers require populated record structure. 85/75 are heuristic evidence tiers, not measured accuracy; test values are synthetic records laid out like the published forms.

Known false positives

Guidance pages, fact sheets, policy and training text that name the record type. Mitigation: Enforce tiers require populated record fields; guidance uses the labels without values.
Blank forms and form kits. Mitigation: Blank lines, square-bracket and angle-bracket placeholders and n/a/tbc values are rejected.
Aggregate statistics and news reporting. Mitigation: No populated person or reference fields, so these stay at 65 discovery.
