1 prediction · 10 assertions · 2 opinions · 11 insights · 8 disclosures · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertions are the 11 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 5 are resolved, 1 is not yet assessed, and 5 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.

The record, in short

Josephs: Autopilot planted a fake Nancy Pelosi at a UFC fight

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

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Chris Josephs on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.
