Research status makes unfinished work visible through stages such as identified or queued, in research, reviewed, and needs verification.
Character, queer-system, and queer-reading records are combined only for this workflow view. Each record contributes to one status, with blank or unrecognized values shown as Not recorded.
Reviewed means the record passed the project’s current review stage; it does not mean the evidence can never change or that the archive is complete.
Percentage base: all character, queer-system, and queer-reading records.
Includes Not recorded when values are missing.
Normally matches the record total when every field is classified.
