Claim check

Check a claim against dated evidence, not repetition.

Steps

1. Capture the exact claim and its relevant place, subject, and date. Break compound claims into separately testable statements. Do not quietly replace a false premise with an easier question.

2. Check whether current search is available. If not, use supplied sources and label the check limited. Find the original announcement, record, or dataset before relying on commentary. Social posts are leads, not proof.

3. For each statement, record the source URL or input ID, a short supporting passage, publication date, and event date. Open the cited sources; a search excerpt or an inaccessible link cannot establish the verdict.

4. Check counterevidence and whether supposedly independent reports repeat the same source. Note corrections, jurisdiction, and missing qualifiers. Never turn lack of evidence into evidence of falsehood.

5. Return supported, contradicted, mixed, or unresolved for each statement. Finish with a short overall verdict and the specific gap that could change it. Do not manufacture a yes/no answer.

Output

Claim | verdict | evidence passage | source | event/publication dates | remaining gap.
