2 not checkable as stated how the 6 claims stand · each chip opens the sources
1 prediction · 5 assertions · 3 insights · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertions are the 6 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 4 are resolved, and 2 name no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

Their most notable supported claim
How they sound: speaking style how? →
245 words/min while actually speaking · 5.8 um and uh per 1k words
No argument clarity score for Russ Altman: no usable question→answer exchanges on raw tape (a fair score needs 8+). We do not score a sample that small. Roundtable and news formats yield far fewer direct exchanges than interviews.
Measured by listening to 2,606 words across 1 episode, but every recording we have of Russ Altman is the aired feed, and an editor cleaned that audio before release. Some of the hesitation was cut before we ever heard it, so read these as floors: the true rates are at least this high. These are measurements of speaking style, not scores. How it's measured →
