Main unresolved issue: 3 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:b19ef8a0-6f6f-84e8-8c96-fba7251c7089

Not yet independently audited.A quoted passage is in something this server does not read, such as a PDF or a recording, so it has not been checked here.

Why?

Strongest counted contradiction: The transcript shows an AP reporter invited Sanders by name and Trump then said go ahead, rather than an unsolicited intervention. weight 1.800000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: Sanders answered after an AP reporter invited her by name, and closed by urging honest and fair coverage.

Review gaps: independence reviewed

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

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 + -1.800000 (the counted weights) = -1.800000 → probability 0.1419

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.2210 to 0.0879, a spread of 0.1331.

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.

The source shows Sanders answered after being invited by name, contradicting the claim that she jumped in on her own initiative.

Qualifications

The excerpt shows an AP reporter asking Sanders about the plan, Trump saying 'Go ahead,' and Sanders defending the president's position; it does not support that she jumped in on her own initiative.

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.
