"evidenceStatus": "Source-audited institutional / movement record supported by Turing Church primary materials and one independent academic treatment; current membership, regular ritual practice, bounded-religion status, and complete institutional history remain unverified.",
"classificationConfidence": "moderate",
"classificationRationale": "Turing Church is classified as an institutional / movement record rather than as a fully bounded religion because the source set supports a named public project, publication environment, book corpus, and independent academic treatment, while membership scale, ritual continuity, and organizational structure remain insufficiently audited.",
"sourceLimitations": "Primary sources support self-description, publication venue, social spaces, and corpus. Independent coverage is limited to one academic source in the current audit. The record does not establish complete institutional history, current membership, regular ritual practice, or the truth of visionary AI-theist and transhumanist claims.",
