5 not checkable as stated how the 5 claims stand · each chip opens the sources

5 assertions · 1 opinion · 1 insight · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertions are the 5 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 0 are resolved, 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.
