2 supported 1 partly supported 0 contradicted 1 not yet assessed 3 not checkable as stated how the 7 claims stand · each chip opens the sources
7 assertions · 2 opinions · 1 insight · 4 disclosures · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertions are the 7 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 3 are resolved, 1 is not yet assessed, and 3 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.
