Claim
A claim, in case analysis, is a single assertion of fact made in a document, recorded together with who made it and where.
Breaking documents into claims is what makes a file comparable with itself. Two claims about the same event, from two documents, can then be put side by side.
A claim is not evidence on its own. It is a pointer to the sentence it came from, which is the thing that gets quoted.
