How the number was reached

Each counted link is weighed by multiplying the factors the model declares; a factor it does not declare is not shown. Every factor name below links to what that number means.

Hedged secondhand attribution: the speaker says 'I think' and the passage contains none of Yang's own words. It supports that Yang was described this way, not that he said it.
The excerpt attributes to Andrew Yang the prediction of a huge resurgence in skilled trades.

The passage supports Yang advocating expanded skilled-trades participation, though 'large resurgence' is interpretive and not his exact wording.

Inferences

Concluded from

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.
