6 predictions · 5 assertions · 1 opinion · 2 insights · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertions are the 11 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 2 are resolved, and 9 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? →
249 words/min while actually speaking · 4.3 um and uh per 1k words
No argument clarity score for Ted Ullyot: 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 6,109 words across 4 episodes, but every recording we have of Ted Ullyot 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 →

Episodes where a recording of Ted Ullyot was played rather than Ted taking part, or where the tape carries an address with nobody putting questions to them. Listed because the words are on the record, kept out of every score on this page because they were not said on this show.
