About these checks

Polygraph checked whole episodes from this report: every claim in an episode, against the record, not only what it said about fraud. An episode’s score runs from 0 to 100: 75 or more holds up, 50 to 74 mostly holds, 25 to 49 mostly fails, under 25 falls apart. A claim is counted once in each episode it was checked in.

Where a checked claim clearly says the same thing as one of the report’s 8 claims, it is listed under that claim on the Claims tab. Lean is the show’s rating. Source: Particle.
