threshold verdict
A statement that observers on at least k different networks independently signed the same reading of a page, so no single vantage point or operator can produce it alone. Each signer's own signed reading is included, so the count can be recomputed offline.
What threshold verdict does not show
It proves agreement across networks; if one organisation runs all the observers, it does not prove independence of operators.
