1 prediction · 11 assertions · 2 opinions · 1 insight · 3 disclosures · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertions are the 12 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 3 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.
