How the sort works
Each beat takes the class of how you say it was shown: seen (the camera was there), found (old footage, a photo or a document), said (an interview), told (a narrator or on-screen text), staged (acted out or reconstructed), cut (2 shots placed side by side suggest it) or unclear. The verdict, first match wins: seen and found make at least half the beats - mostly on the record; staged and cut make at least half - mostly rebuilt; said and told make at least half - mostly on their word; otherwise a mix. Check first: the beat furthest from what the camera saw (unclear first, then cut, staged, told, said, found), the earlier row winning a tie.
This reads how a film shows each beat, not whether a beat is true, and it never judges the people in it. A viewing aid, not fact-checking or legal advice.
