Intent stays separate
Was intentional deception established?
No
- Detailed assessment
- Not established
- Intent evidence level
- 0 / 3
Intent is not assessed because the underlying claim is Pending or Unresolved. The evidence does not first establish a settled inaccurate outcome from which a state-of-mind inquiry could responsibly proceed.
“No” does not mean the statement was true. It means the cited evidence did not meet the higher standard needed to establish the speaker's state of mind.
Why this distinction mattersEvidence strength
A disclosed measure of evidence quality—not a probability.
Component scores measure source quality, corroboration, and directness. Verdict confidence begins with that evidence strength and applies the deductions documented in the methodology.
Quality and directness of evidence that Musk made the statement.
Quality of evidence establishing the outcome.
Independent corroboration across sources and domains.

- v4 → v5 source-package migration audit
- Reclassified. verdict: Unresolved -> True display: Unresolved -> True — Fulfilled as Stated score: -> 100 inclusion: No -> Yes Reviewed under strict deadline-and-terms pass/fail rule; later delivery cannot earn partial credit.
- Selection basis
- High-impact, concrete, externally verifiable claim or dated commitment
- Source quality
- Primary source and/or major wire, official record, or established fact-checker V4 evidence metrics: statement 30/30; outcome 26/40; corroboration 8/15; directness 8/15.
- Methodology note
- V5 uses strict-promise-v1.0. Later delivery does not earn partial credit for a missed dated promise. Excluded from the v2 Trust Score as Unresolved: Tesla offers the cited products, but the statement is a broad strategic goal without an objective completion threshold.
