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.
Evidence 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.

- v4 → v5 source-package migration audit
- Reclassified. verdict: Misleading -> Unresolved display: Partially Fulfilled -> Unresolved score: 50 -> inclusion: Yes -> No Reviewed under strict deadline-and-terms pass/fail rule; later delivery cannot earn partial credit.
- Selection basis
- Requested expansion of X / Twitter safety commitments
- Source quality
- Direct statement paired with court and regulator-related Reuters reporting; the evidence measures implementation and compliance, not every moderation action on the platform V4 evidence metrics: statement 30/30; outcome 34/40; corroboration 8/15; directness 12/15.
- Methodology note
- V5 uses strict-promise-v1.0. Later delivery does not earn partial credit for a missed dated promise. The verdict gives partial credit because the evidence does not support saying X did nothing, but it does not support full fulfillment of the unqualified priority claim.
