The record at a glance
Evidence, not vibes.
The headline score is a weighted summary. These measures show what sits underneath it—and where the sample requires caution.
Claims included in the Trust Score
Pending and Unresolved claims remain visible but do not alter the denominator.

Claims rated True or Mostly True
These categories earn at least 75% of the maximum 100-point weight in the current classification key.
14.2%22 / 155

Contested by credible sources
Contestation is a separate evidence badge, not a score-bearing verdict.

Open the evidenceA transparent conclusion
Strong claim. Visible limits.
Sources first
Every record links the original statement and at least one outcome source. Paraphrases reduce quotation and context errors.
Intent stays separate
Wrong, late, unsupported, or reversed does not automatically mean a deliberate lie. The dataset tracks established intent separately.
Exclusions stay visible
Pending, unclear, and unscorable claims remain searchable so the denominator cannot quietly hide inconvenient records.
