Verification & evidence

Claim review

A structured assessment of a specific claim: status, confidence, evidence, sources.

Definition

A claim review takes a single discrete assertion, names the source, lays out the evidence for and against, and assigns a verification status and confidence rating. It is the unit of work behind every fact-check, every event card, and every claim badge on this site.

Why this matters when reading conflict news

Conflict information environments overwhelm readers with claims. A claim review is the structured way to evaluate one without being swept along by the next.
