3 predictions · 9 assertions · 5 opinions · 7 insights · 3 disclosures · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertions are the 12 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 6 are resolved, and 6 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.
