Facts
Score
Score: Unknown
No score has been published for this cluster. Publication requires independent corroboration across source tiers, a confidence floor, and a human-certified calibration epoch — none of which have happened yet. Fair Witness renders scores; it never re-scores, and it never fills in a number it does not have. See Why Trust This?
Reporting (4 articles)
The same event reported by multiple outlets appears once as this cluster — repetition is shown, not double-counted. Source tier (S1–S4) is a provenance snapshot from ingest, not a truth score.
