How accuracy is measured
Accuracy = accurate ÷ (accurate + inaccurate + misleading), over verdicts with confidence ≥ 0.7. Unverifiable claims are excluded from the denominator.
95% confidence interval 72–95%
Why we rank by the confidence bound
We rank by the lower bound of this interval, not raw accuracy. A small sample yields a wide interval and a low bound — so anchors earn their rank by being checked more, not by looking good on a handful of claims.
What scrutiny means
N checked of M checkable — the share of this anchor's checkable claims that have actually been fact-checked. High accuracy over low scrutiny is a provisional reading, not a verdict on the anchor.Verdict mix
