1 prediction · 3 assertions · 1 insight · 3 disclosures · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertions are the 4 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 1 is resolved, 1 is not yet assessed, and 2 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.
