94.6% claim accuracy
How accuracy is measuredAccuracy = accurate ÷ (accurate + inaccurate + misleading), over verdicts with confidence ≥ 0.7. Unverifiable claims are excluded from the denominator.
0 100 94.6%

95% confidence interval 88–98%

Why we rank by the confidence boundWe 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.
