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 67 78

    High confidence, 101 factual claims resolved. From 13 documents, 2012 to 2026; 15 documents sampled from 34 candidates found.

    Not scored: 37 unresolvable, 6 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: 1 prediction resolved, 5 needed for a score.

    Not scored: 48 unresolvable. 12 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: 4 promises resolved, 5 needed for a score.

    Not scored: 1 unresolvable, 1 not yet due.

  • Guidance

    A company's own figures for its results over a period, checked against what it then reported.

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

All types combined: 72 (likely 67 to 78, high confidence), from 101 claims: 101 factual claims. It mixes kinds of claim in different proportions for different people, so compare people kind by kind.
