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?

  81 76 87

  High confidence, 78 factual claims resolved. From 15 documents, 2004 to 2026; 18 documents sampled from 30 candidates found.

  Not scored: 29 unresolvable, 13 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: 45 unresolvable. 16 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?

  65 45 83

  Low confidence, 6 promises resolved. From 6 documents, 2004 to 2026; 18 documents sampled from 30 candidates found.

  Not scored: 1 checkable only against their own records.
