Claims, one by one

The text below is copied verbatim from the published record. Each claim names the source dossiers that carry it; caveats stay attached to the claim they qualify.

Claim 1 clm-f466eb83897248c4 quantitative

In September 2016

Published field: snippet · verbatim
Mapping: mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says: The Mapillary blog post, published 06 Oct 2016, dates the mapping camp: the author writes that he 'landed on September 21st to kick start the mapping'.
Caveat: No claim-specific caveat recorded

Claim 2 clm-48e99425eadad479 descriptive

a dozen OpenStreetMap Cuba volunteers

Published field: snippet · verbatim
Mapping: mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says: The blog states 'A team of 12 people set out to map Cuba's capital city' and describes how Mapillary 'got in touch with the community of OpenStreetMap Cuba' to run the project with them.
Caveat: The source counts twelve people in the team but does not describe all twelve as OpenStreetMap Cuba volunteers; the author himself writes as a Mapillary employee who travelled in, and the piece names 'the local group' separately.

Claim 3 clm-3af24d78b2eab926 descriptive

mapping Old Havana's streets on foot, bike and motorcycle

Published field: snippet · verbatim
Mapping: mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says: The blog names all three modes: 'the local group provided two motorcycles plus two bicycles', 'Volunteers on foot mapped the streets of Old Havana where no bicycle or motorcycle is allowed', and 'The people on bicycles mapped the Center of La Havana with their phones'.
Caveat: The source also names a rented car, used for the long routes and the Primer Anillo ring road; the entry text does not mention it.

Claim 4 clm-62cd22f215879787 quantitative

with phones, action cameras and Mapillary 360-degree rigs

Published field: snippet · verbatim
Mapping: mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says: The blog lists the equipment for the on-foot mapping: 'Using phones, action cameras and 360 cameras in combination with chest mounts and selfie sticks, they provided some great shots of what is happening in the center of the city.'
Caveat: The source says '360 cameras' and names no manufacturer or model; calling the rigs Mapillary hardware goes beyond what the passage states. Mapillary is the platform the imagery was uploaded to.

Claim 5 clm-bc24a3b5b1c71a6e quantitative

covering an estimated 80-90%

Published field: snippet · verbatim
Mapping: mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says: The blog gives the coverage figure as a range in the operator's own words: 'We rented a car and the local group provided two motorcycles plus two bicycles, with which we ended up mapping 80‒90% of Old Havana.'
Caveat: This is the organiser's own estimate, published in Mapillary's company blog; the post gives no method, no measured street kilometres and no independent check behind the range.

Claim 6 clm-60517648fe49258d descriptive

of the UNESCO-listed historic core

Published field: snippet · verbatim
Mapping: mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says: An image caption in the blog post describes the mapped area as 'A magnificent walk around Old Havana - a UNESCO World Heritage Site', and the text repeatedly names Old Havana as the area covered.
Caveat: The source asserts the World Heritage status in a photo caption; it cites no inscription date and no UNESCO document. The listed OpenStreetMap Wiki page (a 2011 conference bid) describes Old Havana as the historic core but does not mention UNESCO.

Claim 7 clm-5cd53d94f8ca272a descriptive

adding the imagery to the open Mapillary

Published field: snippet · verbatim
Mapping: mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says: The blog invites readers to 'explore the streets and locations of La Havana' on Mapillary and states the upload volume: 'we will be uploading more than 140 GB of image data.'
Caveat: The post is written in the future tense about the upload ('we will be uploading'); it does not confirm that all of the imagery had been published at the time of writing.

Claim 8 clm-edd7f36ef5407910 descriptive

OpenStreetMap databases

Published field: snippet · verbatim
Mapping: mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says: OpenStreetMap's own front page describes the target database: 'OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.' The Mapillary blog documents that the sprint was run with the OpenStreetMap Cuba community and that the team talked to government officials 'about what we set out to do with the OpenStreetMap community in Cuba'.
Caveat: Neither listed source documents an actual edit, import or trace upload into the OpenStreetMap database from this sprint. What is documented is the imagery going to Mapillary and the collaboration with the OSM Cuba community; the OpenStreetMap link in the source list is the project's front page, not a record of this sprint's contributions.

Claim 9 clm-eb0efa2766a64614 quantitative

Volunteers covered an estimated 80-90% of Old Havana's streets

Published field: impact · verbatim
Mapping: mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says: The coverage range is the operator's own summary of the sprint: 'with which we ended up mapping 80‒90% of Old Havana'. The blog attributes the work to the twelve-person team plus the local OpenStreetMap Cuba group.
Caveat: The source says '80‒90% of Old Havana', not explicitly '80-90% of its streets'; and the figure is a self-reported estimate by the organiser, with no method stated and no independent measurement.

Claim 10 clm-0506969cfb9494b3 quantitative

during the September 2016 sprint

Published field: impact · verbatim
Mapping: mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says: The blog dates the mapping camp to September 2016 - 'I landed on September 21st to kick start the mapping' - and was itself published on 06 Oct 2016, shortly after.
Caveat: The source names only the start date. It gives no end date and no duration, so the length of the sprint cannot be checked against this source.

Known limits of this passport

Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
