1 prediction · 13 assertions · 1 opinion · 2 disclosures · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertions are the 14 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 2 are resolved, and 12 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.
