A stat or claim you are about to repeat in a deck or post.
What you fill in

The prompt
Fact-check this claim: claim 1. Break it into its separate factual parts. 2. For each part: what evidence would confirm it, what you know, and the most likely original source. 3. Common ways claims like this get distorted (wrong year, wrong denominator, survey of a few people). 4. Verdict: true, mostly true, misleading, false or unverifiable, with a confidence level. 5. A safer way to phrase it. Say plainly when you cannot verify something without a source. Before you answer, check your draft against every instruction above and fix anything that misses.
