Confirmation

Confirmation: the sides contradict each other

The groups of sources give incompatible information (the model, reading the texts, flagged incompatible statements of fact; differing figures are shown in the card). The site does not decide who is right.

Articles: 13, sources: 6, groups: 3. Automatic assessment from formal features (coverage, number of sources, conflicting figures, quote and relevance checks) — not an assessment of truth. How this is computed
