Our worked method

Examine a health claim

Received claim
Define what is asserted.
Explanation
Read arguments and references.
  1. Copy the claim without strengthening it.
  2. Find the relevant explanation and its date.
  3. Separate established findings, hypotheses and open questions.

Fictional example: a headline promises certainty while the text describes a hypothesis; preserve that distinction.

Your useful record: Keep claim, reference and described evidence level.
