Classification is not the same as verdict.
A claim can be a conspiracy theory and still need careful evidence review. Each article separates the type of claim, what the evidence supports, and how confident the conclusion should be.
Classification
What kind of claim is this? Examples include conspiracy theory, misinformation, disputed history, fringe science, urban legend, or inconclusive claim.
Verdict
What does the evidence support? Verdicts can be supported, partly supported, unsupported, debunked, or inconclusive.
Confidence
How strong is the conclusion? High confidence requires multiple credible, independent, converging sources.
Sources
Every conclusion-driving factual claim needs a citation. AI can help organize research, but articles cite underlying source material.
Polls
The poll question asks whether readers think the claim is true. Results are labeled as reader opinion and kept separate from the editorial verdict.
Revision
Articles carry a last-reviewed date and should be revisited if new evidence or major public interest appears.
