Headline check
The one thing this headline claims is in the report.
Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. One claim in this headline could be checked, so this is a narrow pass and not a thorough one. How this is checked
This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 670-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.
