How to Grade a Pundit Without Grading Their Vibes

Pundit reviews will evaluate a defined, disclosed sample. We will capture the original statement, date, program or publication, available evidence at the time, later outcome when relevant, and whether the speaker corrected or clarified the record.

What earns credit

Specific sourcing, calibrated uncertainty, meaningful context, accurate description of opposing evidence, and visible corrections.

What loses credit

False factual claims, certainty unsupported by available evidence, selective quotation, retrospective prediction repair, and treating access to powerful people as proof that powerful people are correct.

Profiles are revisable. New evidence can change a score. The archive remains visible so readers can see why.
