Explanation:
This is mostly a reaction to the "at least" of the two first versions. I do not think the Russian по крайней мере is translatable here by "at least". Would be interesting to have a reponse from native speakers

neutral  Jennifer Guernsey: This is certainly the meaning implied by "по крайней мере" (i.e. it may have started, but if so, not detectably), but IMHO "at least" conveys the same implication. I'm not a native Russian speaker, though.

Explanation:
i think the author means 'confirmed' here

We have reproduced the interior of the ground foundation, which can not be visually confirmed, through analytical means.
