9 predictions · 27 assertions · 21 opinions · 40 insights · 1 disclosure · 1 what if · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertions are the 36 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 19 are resolved, 1 is not yet assessed, and 16 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.

weighted support: a fully supported claim counts one, a partly supported claim counts half. Each filled bar is clickable and opens exactly those claims; "none yet" means nothing said at that certainty level has resolved yet
