Tier A rate

About the tiers. Tier A: the statement is contradicted by unambiguous documentary evidence, such as an agency's own data, a court record or the official transcript. Tier B: the statement has a true element or is genuinely contested, but it is materially misleading as stated. The editor sets each false claim's tier; the engine screens it, and no entry is published unless its evidence reaches a confidence (C) of 50. We publish both.
