Headline check
The one thing this headline claims is not in the report.
- The headline puts “gamechanger” in quotation marks. Nobody says those words anywhere in the report.
Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. How this is checked
This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 3266-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.
