4 predictions · 3 assertions · 2 opinions · 4 insights · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertions are the 7 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 4 are 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.
