The Arc-Hives Index analyzes factual claims in news reporting and tracks whether they can actually be confirmed. Instead of asking whether a claim is widely repeated, we ask what evidence would be required for it to be true — and whether that evidence exists.
| Score Range | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 80–100 | Claims are usually verifiable with primary or official evidence. |
| 60–79 | Claims are often verifiable, but some lack sufficient confirmation. |
| 40–59 | Claims frequently rely on weak or non-confirmatory evidence. |
| Below 40 | Claims are often contradicted by official records or remain consistently unverifiable. |
A claim can be widely reported and still lack confirmation. "Unverifiable" means we could not find explicit, claim-aligned evidence — especially in cases where post-event confirmation or official documentation is required.
Most systems ask:
"Has anyone else said this?"
The Arc-Hives Index asks:
"What must be true for this claim to be true — and is that confirmed?"

The Arc-Hives Index evaluates claims, not people or institutions. Results are evidence-based, time-bound, and may change as new primary documentation becomes available.
