Scores by kind of claim

Each kind of claim is scored on its own, out of 100: the share that held up, with the range it likely falls in. Fewer resolved claims give a wider range.

• Factual claims

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

  72 65 79

  High confidence, 60 factual claims resolved. From 15 documents, 2018 to 2025; 19 documents sampled from 34 candidates found.

  Not scored: 35 unresolvable, 2 checkable only against their own records.

• Predictions

  Statements about events outside the person's control, checked once they fell due: did they come true?

  66 54 78

  Medium confidence, 19 predictions resolved. From 5 documents, 2018 to 2024; 19 documents sampled from 34 candidates found.

  Not scored: 111 unresolvable. 21 more fall due later.

  Does not yet allow for how likely each prediction was when made.

• Promises

  Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?

  Insufficient record: 1 promise resolved, 5 needed for a score.

  Not scored: 2 unresolvable.

All types combined: 71 (likely 64 to 77, high confidence), from 79 claims: 60 factual claims, 19 predictions. It mixes kinds of claim in different proportions for different people, so compare people kind by kind.
