Announced

The record is anchored in a primary statement, filing or official publication. Outcomes remain attributed until independent evidence appears.

Studied

A research method and measured result are available. Transferability, replication and real-world performance may still be unresolved.

Observed

Independent reporting or documented real-world evidence is available. The record still preserves limitations and competing explanations.

Public methodology

A status, not a secret score.

The tracker does not rank stories with a mysterious percentage. Its stage comes from the kind of evidence available; its confidence band reflects source count, source diversity and the presence of independent research or reporting. Reporting labels also distinguish a single-source analysis from multi-source or original work.

Every record exposes its source trail, people impact, limitations and next verification question. When evidence changes, the record can be updated without erasing what was known when it was first released.
