   What remains uncertain:

EXAMPLE (an observation exercise, not an artifact identification):
Observation: the capsule is much shorter than the rocket beneath it.
Label fact: record the spacecraft program from this object's label.
Question: which parts separated during flight?
Keep your observation, the label fact, and the eventual answer separate.
