Calibration
This page exists so readers can audit the system, not trust it: every number below is computed from the published grades at build time, and the anchor table runs the same checks that gate our releases.
Honest dating: all three rubric versions were developed during the site's initial calibration on June 11, 2026 — the revision tables below are the complete record of that process, public from day one, not a multi-year history. The record accrues from here.

Tier distribution
Where the catalog lands under the six tiers. A healthy distribution is bottom-heavy — most claims should not survive scrutiny.
| Tier | Claims | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | 4 | 1.6% |
| Silver | 12 | 4.7% |
| Bronze | 16 | 6.3% |
| Explained | 133 | 52.6% |
| Unproven | 58 | 22.9% |
| Disproven | 30 | 11.9% |

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 ≥ 80
Gold is earned on both bars, in both directions — no entry holds it without the thresholds (Evidence bar raised 70→80 in rubric v3).
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.
