This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
The word 'compass' occurs in the 1-2 Nephi text only at 1 Nephi 18:12, 18:21, and 2 Nephi 5:12 (2 Nephi 7:11/Isaiah 50:11 use 'compass' as a verb), and both 18:12 and 5:12 attach a prepared-relative clause to it — 18:12 reads 'the compass, which had been prepared of the Lord'; 5:12 reads 'the ball, or compass, which was prepared for my father by the hand of the Lord'. The identification rests on shared wording, not inference. Divergences unique to 5:12 are reported as textual facts.
