Assessment

Supported

Score: 0.9781 under ledger-default@0.3.0 at snapshot 27745

2 of 4 review checks done · 1 counted · 1 by the author only

Main unresolved issue: 4 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:e09b26fc-ad96-86e1-bafc-c7136583b686

Not yet independently audited.Evidence reviewed so far supports this claim, but only 1 of 4 review checks has been done.Every quoted passage was confirmed on the page when Galedra fetched it.

Why?

Strongest counted support: The abstract reports increased cash withdrawals, higher transport and legal costs and greater welfare-benefit claiming compared with controls. weight 2.000000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The excerpt directly reports higher transport and legal costs, increased cash withdrawals, and greater welfare-benefit claiming versus matched controls.

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

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Supported.

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 + 3.800000 (the counted weights) = 3.800000 → probability 0.9781

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.9346 to 0.9929, a spread of 0.0583.

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

None.

Qualifications

The comparison is observational, limited to self-disclosing women with accounts at one UK bank and a maximum seven-year pre-disclosure window; it does not establish causality.

From Banking records reveal characteristics of financial abuse Read 2026-09-29 Relevance DIRECT Steps 0 Counted

The reported group differences are associations within the selected banking sample and should not be generalized to all victim-survivors or interpreted causally.

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.
