A quick definition of foundational fact:

A foundational fact is something that is true and exists in reality. It can be a tangible thing, an event, a relationship, or even a state of mind like an opinion. There are different types of facts, such as evidentiary facts that provide evidence for other facts, or dispositive facts that can cause the loss or gain of rights. Facts can be important in legal cases, where they help determine how the law applies to the parties involved.

A more thorough explanation:

A foundational fact is a fact that serves as the basis for other facts or legal decisions. It is a fact that is necessary to establish before other facts can be considered. For example, in a trial, the foundational fact might be whether a defendant was present at the scene of a crime. This fact must be established before other facts, such as whether the defendant committed the crime, can be considered.

Another example of a foundational fact is in insurance. A foundational fact might be whether a person has a pre-existing medical condition. This fact is necessary to determine the risk and the premium for the insurance policy.
