LENS 01 / EDITORIAL TRUST

Who has earned the benefit of the doubt?

Disclosure, accuracy and what they do when they get something wrong. Every number is an editorial judgement with a reason.

THE RECIPE

How this position was decided

Every point is published. There is no hidden term, and no review or sentiment data feeds this number. Audience ratings stay blank throughout the read-only beta.

  • 30 source coverage — how many checked sources back the profile
  • 15 independent sourcing — evidence beyond the creator's own channel and site
  • 20 documented record — dated events with sources
  • 20 public corrections and responses — owning a mistake on the record counts in a creator's favour
  • 15 editorial confidence in the current research
  • −8 per unresolved dispute, capped at two

Arrows compare today against the signal recorded at least 30 days ago, so movement means the documented record actually changed.
