  • Single-source claim: initial report lacks independent corroboration after multi-day monitoring window.
  • Staying at Rumour: we won't raise the status without a second independent outlet confirming it.

Status reflects every claim currently on record. It is never automated and never paywalled: only deeper history, exports and alerts are Pro.
