Qualifications and limitations
The source expressly uses the stated legal classification in the bounded context; the edge does not generalize experience, establish injury or liability, or infer a shared identity-group position.
Application outside the cited issue, role, jurisdiction, and source proposition requires separate evidence.
What this edge does not establish
It does not establish causation, a violation, liability, endorsement, affiliation, representation, political alignment, a shared stakeholder belief, exclusivity, or that omitted stakeholders are irrelevant.
