glx evidence

Show all evidence for a property, grouped by value

Synopsis

Display every assertion for one person+property side-by-side, grouped by value, with the supporting citations and confidence for each.

Where "glx analyze" emits a one-line conflict warning and "glx proof" summarizes a resolved question, "glx evidence" is for questions still in active research: it lays out the conflicting answers so you can weigh them. For each value it shows the supporting reports (citation and source), counts them, and reports the best confidence; the closing line highlights the best-supported value, or notes when the leading values tie.

The person argument can be an exact entity ID (e.g., person-jane-webb) or a name to search for (e.g., "Jane Miller"). If the name matches multiple persons, all matches are listed for disambiguation. The property is matched exactly, with a case-insensitive fallback when no exact match exists. Place, person, and event reference values resolve to the referenced entity's name.
