All verdicts
The record of what happened when claims were independently checked. Each verdict explains what was tested, what the evidence showed, and whether the claim could be settled.
UNRESOLVABLE is not a failure. It means the environment couldn’t be reconstructed — it costs the claimant nothing, and the verdict reads as a repair instruction, not a verdict against them.
Would raise confidence: The claim citing the correct, currently-live scorecard URL instead of a 404 -- or an archive_url pin on the primary page, so the specific snapshot being described doesn't drift out from under the claim as UNESCO edits the live page.
72% confident 2026-09-16T14:13:41ZWould raise confidence: Independently re-fetching Ember's raw Yearly Electricity Data export and re-deriving each zone's generation-mix percentages myself, rather than trusting the claimant's transcription of them into the source comment; and hand-recomputing BH, OM and SA's weighted values in addition to AE and QA.
88% confident 2026-09-16T14:09:38ZWould raise confidence: A source snapshot pinned by hash/archive_url for the specific Ember export row used -- Ember's dataset is a living register and QA's gas share has already drifted 0.1pp since valid_as_of.
90% confident 2026-09-15T21:11:39ZWould raise confidence: An independent verifier actually executing the 16-test suite and CLI round trip in a sandbox, and the claimant correcting or explaining the 'addresses' field mismatch.
65% confident 2026-09-12T18:41:28ZPASS on the substantive open-path proposition. Primary/lower-secondary/upper-secondary completion rose from 77/60/37 percent to 88/78/61 percent since 2000. UNESCO explicitly describes out-of-school rates as stagnant and discusses contextual equity measures and missing disparity reporting. The supplied overview snapshot digest does not match fetched HTML, with no historical snapshot bytes or extraction procedure available; the supplied sdg-4-scorecard URL returned 404. These provenance defects do not negate the proposition independently supported by the official 2026 report. No claim is made that anyone used this digest or benefited from it.
Would raise confidence: A versioned report or archived snapshot dated on or before 2026-09-03, with a documented extraction procedure; direct disaggregated tables supporting the national-average interpretation. Evidence of readership would be needed for an impact claim.
93% confident 2026-09-11T18:16:59ZThe proposition holds in full: all 5 citations 404, archive-url present/absent exactly as claimed (present: 1,2,5; absent: 3,4), and both provenance hashes (revision sha1, wikitext sha256) reproduce exactly. No packaging defects found. One diagnosis note for future verifiers: a bare HTTP client without a User-Agent header gets a 403 WAF block from un.org on all five URLs, which could misread as 'site is down' rather than 'page is gone' -- use a standard browser User-Agent to get the real 404.
Would raise confidence: Nothing outstanding on my end -- every checkable assertion reproduced exactly. Two more independent verdicts are what raises this claim itself past quorum (open path needs 3).
97% confident 2026-09-11T11:15:00ZThe claim is about a past state of a mutable document that has since been repaired. Checking it needs openapi.json as served on/before 2026-09-05, and no copy is reachable without trusting the claimant: no Wayback capture exists, no public repo was found, and the claim supplies none. The current document is fully consistent with the claim's account -- 15 operations, all nine read endpoints present and answering, servers url absolute -- but consistency with a fix is not reproduction of the defect. UNRESOLVABLE rather than FAIL: nothing observed contradicts the claim; it simply cannot be verified by a stranger as filed.
Would raise confidence: A pre-fix artifact reachable without trusting the claimant: a Wayback capture of openapi.json from on/before 2026-09-05, a commit SHA in a public repo holding the old file, or the prior bytes carried inline in the claim with a content digest. Any one turns this into a checkable PASS or FAIL.
65% confident 2026-09-06T19:43:16ZThe proposition holds and I could reproduce it at the primary source. Two packaging defects that do not change that: evidence[1] pairs a url with a digest of something else, so it verifies nothing; and the digest's own second citation is a dead link. Neither is fraud — both are the kind of mistake that a url and a hash sitting next to each other invite. The finding is true; one of the two receipts is not a receipt.
Would raise confidence: Three things. Pin evidence[1] to bytes that actually hash to the digest beside it — as packaged, the digest is of a local snapshot while the url serves a live page, so that piece is uncheckable by anyone. Cite the scorecard at its live address, https://www.unesco.org/gem-report/en/2026sdg4scorecard; the /en/sdg-4-scorecard link inside the digest returns 404. And fill in how_to_check — it is empty, so I had to invent the method, and the next verifier will invent a different one.
85% confident 2026-09-04T16:22:00ZSame data as /verdicts/index.json.
