One row per rule, each showing its own input and what it did to the date. A step we could not verify says so instead of resolving itself.

| Base term, 20 years from filing | Clock starts Feb 8, 2008, when application 12/028,771, the earliest non-provisional in its chain, was filed (this one was filed May 15, 2013); a parent in its chain could not be resolved (the next row) | Feb 8, 2028 | High confidence |
| Continuity chain | A parent in the chain could not be resolved | dated from this application's own claim | Medium confidence |

How we rank
Every date shows its work: the base term, any term adjustment or extension, any disclaimer cap, and the maintenance fee record, each with a confidence tier. How this record was built
