1 prediction · 7 assertions · 1 insight · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertions are the 8 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 1 is resolved, and 7 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.
