Headline check
Nothing in this headline could be checked against the report.
Nothing was measured here, so nothing is claimed. One figure in this headline has a decimal point in it. We match figures digit for digit against the report, and that comparison is not reliable for decimals, 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 305-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.
