Factual Their own work or organisation

DONG Energy's 2016 EBITDA from continuing operations was DKK 19.1 billion, underlying growth of 95%.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

True if DONG Energy's 2016 annual report shows EBITDA from continuing operations of DKK 19.1 billion (±0.05 billion) and underlying growth of 95%. Mostly true if the EBITDA figure matches and the growth figure is within a few percentage points of 95%. Mixed if one of the two figures is materially off. False if both figures are materially off.
