Field notes
The tracker groups outbreak threads by location and assessment level, with the selected thread showing dated source summaries and source categories. Its method says authority and independence are weighted separately, while repeated coverage of one claim does not count as independent corroboration. The page describes per-item scores as editorial for now, pending a model that can score a live corpus.
