Research gate not met for 2026-01-31
Unable to produce a defensible, high-confidence (>=0.95) taxpayer outlay estimate for the President’s Washington, DC → Palm Beach (Mar-a-Lago) travel day and Alfalfa Club dinner attendance on 2026-01-31 because: (1) tool-based page retrieval failed during evidence collection (multiple source pages could not be opened/scraped), preventing verification of key facts; and (2) the required standard of ≥2 independent, in-window sources per event confirming travel/logistics and any incremental federal outlays (aviation asset used, security posture, local LE activation) could not be satisfied. Additional corroborated sourcing (e.g., official WH schedule/pool report, flight details, and local LE activation notices) is required.

Research gate not met for 2026-01-30
Cannot meet the tool & confidence gate (>=6 in-window source URLs and model_confidence>=0.95). The provided roll call shows only in-White-House official activities; no corroborated leisure/recreation event and no cost-specific evidence for incremental taxpayer outlays on 2026-01-30 beyond routine baseline operations. Additional sourcing is needed (e.g., official daily schedule/link, pool reports, and any confirmed off-site leisure travel/security activation) to produce a defensible estimate.

More corroborated sourcing and cost-specific evidence (e.g., confirmed security posture/agency overtime activations, transportation assets used, and any reimbursed venue costs) is required.
