About the tiers. Tier A entries are statements where the documentary record contradicts the claim unambiguously: data published by a federal agency, a court ruling, a peer-reviewed scientific finding, or the speaker's own prior on-record statement. Tier B entries are statements that are misleading by significant framing, omission of context, or use of a non-standard methodology not disclosed to the audience. The distinction matters for the editorial defense of each entry. We publish both.
