Assessment

Contradicted

Score: 0.0448 under ledger-default@0.3.0 at snapshot 27745

0 of 4 review checks done · 0 counted

2 independent evidence lineages · review checks 0 of 4 · stability HIGH

Main unresolved issue: 2 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:42192c52-6c86-893c-81ed-40d3b7df47b2

Not yet independently audited; some evidence was recorded by an anonymous contributor.Evidence reviewed so far contradicts this claim, but only 0 of 4 review checks have been done.

Why?

Strongest counted contradiction: The U.S. Navy had 290 battle-force ships as of October 1, 2025. weight 1.530000 evidence

Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed, primary source reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that supports this claim would move it from Contradicted to Leans contradicted.

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 + -3.060000 (the counted weights) = -3.060000 → probability 0.0448

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.1051 to 0.0184, a spread of 0.0867.

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.

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.
