Tier distribution
Where the catalog lands under the six tiers. A healthy distribution is bottom-heavy — most claims should not survive scrutiny.

|---|---|---|
| Gold standard | 4 | 2.2% |
| Silver — promotable | 11 | 6.2% |
| Bronze — contested | 15 | 8.4% |
| Explained | 72 | 40.4% |
| Unproven | 52 | 29.2% |
| Disproven | 24 | 13.5% |

Anchor compliance
Calibration anchors from the rubric — fixed points a re-grade is not allowed to drift past. The same rules run as a hard gate in CI.
Confessed hoaxes / exposed frauds: Evidence ≤ 5
Cottingley, Popoff, Trevignano — the record says it didn't happen, however high the meter.
Resolved-naturally / boundary cases: Meter ≤ 5
Lentz, McMath, Ziadna, Lahaina — confidently documented, naturally explained.
Headline = round(Meter × Evidence ÷ 100), clamped 1–99
Every headline is the product of the two bars — no hand-tuned exceptions.
Gold tier ⇔ Meter ≥ 70 and Evidence ≥ 70
Gold is earned on both bars, in both directions — no entry holds it without the thresholds.
All values in range
Meter, Evidence, headline within 1–99; docScore within 0–10.
Thresholds, bars, and tiers are defined on the methodology page; every individual revision behind these aggregates is on the changelog.
