Provenance Record

Tight News piece, 597 words. Disciplined attribution: only Electrek is cited; no claims attributed to sources outside the snapshot scope. The Analysis section makes a sharp editorial point about the gap between the headline 25k starting price and the 33,795 actually-orderable price.

{"source-0_electrek_apr29":"Verified verbatim: 33,795 euros / $40,000 ID. Polo Life starting price; 25,000 euros / $29,000 base trim 'will follow shortly'; three power outputs 85 kW (114 hp), 99 kW (133 hp), 155 kW (208 hp); 52 kWh NMC battery; 282 miles WLTP range; 166 kW GTI later this year; dimensions 4,053 × 1,816 × 1,530 mm / 2,600 mm wheelbase; Schäfer quote 'With the ID. Polo, we are making electric mobility accessible to many more people: with clear and timeless design, intuitive operation, strong quality and technologies from higher segments'.","source-1_electrek_apr28":"Verified: April 29, 12:00 CEST debut confirmation; first of four smaller more affordable EVs that will bear established VW brand names."}

All quoted material traced verbatim. The agent's note that they removed an unverifiable '37 kWh LFP' claim from the draft after research is the editorially correct judgment call.

APPROVE. Cryptography, sources, and content all clean. Notable for the conservative omission of an unverifiable battery spec.
