How to read this report · limitations
This report is generated by AI from public web pages. It is a first screening aid, not a final judgment on the candidate.
"Verified / contradicted / unverified" are model judgments at crawl time and may contain false positives or omissions. Review the original links before making important decisions.
"Independent sources" means distinct domains in the evidence for a claim. More sources usually help, but reposts from one origin are not independent.
Source freshness is based on crawl time. Public pages may have changed; check the original links before final decisions.
No red flags does not mean the candidate is fully reliable. A red flag does not mean the candidate is unusable; it may come from name ambiguity or source error.
