How we score

Do not be first. Be the place people check before repeating it.

We track football claims before they resolve: what was said, what the public sources support, what changed, and whether we were right. Every call is timestamped in a public, append-only record we cannot silently edit.

What we cover

Player availability (injury, fitness, suspension affecting a match), lineups (who starts / is in the squad), and "safe to say" — the strongest wording the public evidence supports before kickoff. We deliberately don't cover tactical or refereeing opinions, transfer gossip, or political discourse. Selective reliability beats shallow coverage.

The tiers (assigned before the outcome is known)

Tier	Meaning	Confidence
T1	Primary / official / direct documentary source	0.90–0.99
T2	Credible single source, not yet primary-confirmed	0.60–0.85
T3	Rumour / aggregation / weak or unclear sourcing	0.20–0.55
T4	Contradicted by stronger evidence	0.01–0.25

Every claim also gets a safe sentence — what you can say without overstating — and a share status: safe-to-share, share-with-caveat, wait, do-not-repeat-yet, false-as-worded, contradicted.

The rules that protect you

• Public source link on every claim. If it can't be linked publicly, it isn't logged.
• One credible single source = T2 max. Repetition isn't confirmation — five outlets citing one report is still one source.
• Append-only. We never edit or delete a published call. Corrections are added, timestamped, and linked. The record is the point.
• We grade ourselves. Our accuracy counts only claims scored before resolution.

Corrections

When we're wrong, we post a correction within ~2 hours: the claim, what we scored, what it resolved to, and the specific reason we missed. A miss handled openly is evidence of process, not failure.

Independence

We use public sources only — no insider, embargoed, or private information ever. Every rating is justifiable by a public link. This methodology and our corrections are public and versioned.
