Claims

Atomic findings. The title is the claim; the frontmatter carries the source, its tier (1 = primary document … 4 = tertiary), and a growth status (seedling → budding) that says how much weight it can bear. Captures — the raw research sessions claims are promoted from — are listed here too.

• Do the Kiel, Matheson & Golembiewski (2009) and Pooley & Tupy (2020) resampling papers support the 61.2% and 54.2% win-rate figures attributed to them?
