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?

    83 78 88

    High confidence, 86 factual claims resolved. From 10 documents, 2021 to 2026; 17 documents sampled from 29 candidates found.

    Not scored: 23 unresolvable, 17 checkable only against their own records.

  • Predictions

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

    Insufficient record: 2 predictions resolved, 5 needed for a score.

    Not scored: 20 unresolvable.

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

  • Promises
