3 of 4 review checks done · 3 counted

Main unresolved issue: 7 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:e296ee63-61ff-8b5c-8f51-b643b14de16b

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: Uber’s 2025 Form 10-K says its proprietary marketplace technology includes matching and dispatching. weight 1.800000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The excerpt says Uber's mission-critical function is matching driver and passenger, and that this happens outside Uber's organizational boundary, out in the wild.; The passage says Uber's mission-critical driver-passenger matching doesn't happen inside Uber's organizational boundary; it happens out in the wild.

Review gaps: independence reviewed

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

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.0486 to 0.0040, a spread of 0.0446.

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 matching is performed by Uber's own dispatch system, described in a patent assigned to Uber, which places the function inside the boundary rather than outside it.

Qualifications

Uber states in its annual report that drivers are independent contractors.

The half of the claim that holds. The drivers are outside the boundary; the matching function that pairs them with riders is not. The claim conflates the two.

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.
