Investigations
Every statement someone asked Galedra to check, newest first, with the reading of the claims beneath it. An investigation is one recorded check: the statement as it was given, the claims it was broken into, and what the sources said about each. The claims themselves are under Claims. These are the short ones — a meme, a quotation, a figure someone sent you. A long source worked through section by section, like a speech or a podcast, is an outline and is listed there. Each reading is provisional until audited, and none of it is a verdict on the person who posted the statement.
