Intent stays separate
Was intentional deception established?
Not assessable
- Detailed assessment
- Not assessable
- Intent evidence level
- Not assessable
Intent is not assessed because the underlying claim is Pending or Unresolved. A state-of-mind conclusion would outrun the available evidence.
“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.
