4 assertions · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertions are the 4 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 2 are resolved, 1 is not yet assessed, and 1 names 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 contradicted claim

Assertion Contradicted

Mark43 cannot legally auto-merge police records due to audit trail requirements

“Legally we as Mark 43 cannot merge those records ourselves. We have to allow a law enforcement official to do that because each piece of data entered into the system must have an audit trail that can track back to them so that this can go to court.”
