📖What it means
Something that can be checked, offered in support of a claim: a query result, a test output, an endpoint response, a rendered page. 'It works' is not evidence, and a criterion marked met without it is a rubber stamp.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Claim
Evidence is what can be verified; a claim is what is asserted.
Not: Decision
Evidence supports a judgment; a decision records the judgment itself.
