The question it belongs to
Who is really speaking?
The Coordination–Consensus Continuum is Alex-George Adam’s framework for examining attribution in social listening: which mechanisms are compatible with an observed conversation, and what evidence would distinguish coordination from consensus?
What does the evidence leave open?
Partial identification describes situations in which the available evidence and stated assumptions restrict a quantity to a set of possible values, rather than determine one value. The width of that set expresses what remains unresolved.
