Three levels, and no fourth
How every claim on this site is graded.Stated by the publisher, quoted in its own words, with the date we read it.
A named outlet reported it and the publisher has not confirmed it.
Nobody has published it. The page says so and stops there.
A situation, not a level: live in Korea, not yet in the West. Marked KR throughout.
Our method
Being checkable is the whole proposition
We cite the publisher first, quote it in its own words, and record the date we read it. Korean sources appear in Korean with the translation flagged as ours. Leaks, material extracted from the client and anonymous rumours are refused outright, whatever they happen to say. When nothing has been published, the page says so — and that sentence is the most useful one we write.
