The Introduction (p. 1) says the natality file permits more detailed analysis, and Technical Notes: Data source describes birth-certificate data. Neither passage addresses linking birth and death records or the purpose of such linkage. Searches for linkage and infant mortality patterns found no relevant passage in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
