[Tagging] Lifecycle tag for preliminary ways or objects

I've tried searching but cant find anything relevant.
Are there any conventions or proposals for tagging items for which there is
some evidence but not conclusive evidence of its existence?

For example looking at satellite imagery you can see a path that goes under
some trees and a hedge and appears to come out the other side.

There are also many public footpaths marked on official maps that can be
added using the osm website but definitely need to be checked on the ground
as they might not be passable

There might be a phone box but you don't know if it's working or converted
to something else.

It would be good if there is a way of mapping this so that apps could use
it to help confirm its existence without just leaving notes all over the
place which is especially difficult to ask about when a path.
Thanks
Tim
