Everyone quoted in a Wholestory topic is recorded here with a credibility score. Because statements persist rather than vanish with the news cycle, later cycles revisit them and record a verdict — and that track record moves the score.
A score with no track behind it is a baseline: an opening estimate from institutional history, not a judgement earned on this site. Low credibility is a reason to weigh a voice, never a reason to leave it out — the record is an accountability log, so it keeps what was said either way.
