## Evidence Collection Template

> **Minimums:** 3+ files examined. Each excerpt 5-30 lines with line numbers.
> **Rating:** Each finding rated CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM significance.
> **Traceability:** Each finding linked to the Why # it supports.

### Files Examined

**Evidence {N}: `{absolute_file_path}`**
- **Lines examined:** {start}-{end}
- **Significance:** {CRITICAL | HIGH | MEDIUM}
- **Finding:** {what was discovered — 1-2 sentences}
- **Supports:** Why #{N} — "{brief quote from the Why answer this evidence backs}"
- **Excerpt** ({line_count} lines):
  ```{language}
  // Lines {start}-{end} of {filename}
  {5-30 lines of verbatim code/text}
  ```

> Repeat for each file. Minimum 3 evidence entries.

### Evidence Summary Table

| # | File | Lines | Significance | Supports Why # |
|---|------|-------|-------------|----------------|
| 1 | `{path}` | {range} | {CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM} | #{N} |
| 2 | `{path}` | {range} | {CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM} | #{N} |
| 3 | `{path}` | {range} | {CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM} | #{N} |
