Headline check

Nothing in this headline could be checked against the report.

Nothing was measured here, so nothing is claimed. One name in this headline is spelled almost the same as a word in the report — the difference between a country and its adjective, for instance. We cannot tell whether they are the same thing, so that one was not checked either way rather than reported as missing. How this is checked

This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 400-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.

How this outlet filed it, and how we rewrote it
