1 prediction · 7 assertions · 1 disclosure · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertions are the 8 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 0 are resolved, 3 are 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.
