No rate stated

4 settled claims is below the reporting floor of 10. The counts are stated; no rate is, because a percentage over so few claims would be quoted as if it meant something. Sample too small to state a rate.

What the checks found

Independently corroborated1of a sample too small to state a rate

Independent, non-militia reporting described the same event with the same substance.

Corroborated in part1of a sample too small to state a rate

The event was independently reported, but a material detail in the claim — a casualty figure, a target, an attribution — was not borne out.

Contradicted0of a sample too small to state a rate

Independent reporting positively contradicted the claim. This is the only outcome that counts as a finding against the source.

No independent record2of a sample too small to state a rate

No independent outlet reported it either way. This is not a finding of falsehood: Iraqi coverage is uneven, whole districts go unreported, and these channels are sometimes genuinely first.

Not checkable0of a sample too small to state a rate

The claim could never have left an independent trace — a statement of intent, an internal grievance, a prediction — so it was recorded but never scored.

“No independent record” does not mean false. It means no outlet outside the militia information space reported the event either way. Iraqi coverage is uneven, whole districts and whole weeks go unreported, and these channels are sometimes genuinely first. Only the contradicted column carries a positive finding against a source.
