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.

prior 0.50 → log-odds 0.000000 + -0.918000 (the counted weights) = -0.918000 → probability 0.2854

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.3447 to 0.2327, a spread of 0.1120.

Half-even rounding, six places for weights and four for the probability. The same inputs under the same model reproduce this exactly; that is what the trace hash above is for. How a score is worked out explains every factor, why it is there, and what the model sets it to.

Evidence against

Motion 14 prohibits cycling only on the Market Street mall on Saturday daytimes in the December market season; bicycles may be walked.

From Ashcombe Town Council minutes, 3 September 2026 Read 2026-09-18 Relevance STRONG Steps 1 Counted

The minutes describe a narrow, seasonal, time-limited restriction, not a downtown ban.

Qualifications

The post asserts a downtown bicycle ban without citing a decision.

From Viral post: 'Ashcombe just BANNED bicycles downtown' Read 2026-09-18 Relevance CONTEXT_ONLY Steps 0 Counted

The post is the claim's origin, not evidence for it.
The passage bans cycling only on a named pedestrian mall, Saturdays 10:00-18:00 in December, and names no municipality.

From Ashcombe Town Council minutes, 3 September 2026 Read 2026-09-18 Relevance MODERATE Steps 1 Counted

Two problems. First, the restriction is limited by street, hours, day and season and permits walking a bicycle, so it does not establish a downtown-wide ban. Second, the passage never names Ashcombe, so tying it to this claim takes an interpretive step; the excerpt is also byte-identical (same sha256) to the passage cited under a separate source for the parallel Brackenridge claim, which warrants a source independence check.

Suppressed as dependent

None.

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.

Claim edges

None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.
