4 supported 3 partly supported 0 contradicted how the 7 claims stand · each chip opens the sources
1 prediction · 6 assertions · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertions are the 7 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 7 are resolved. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.
The record, in short
What the tape says about how Austin argues and how the claims held up. Everything they said, and everything said about them, is in the tabs below.

Expressed certainty vs assessment result
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 Austin Petersmith on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.
