The three ways a claim gets settled
The weakest link in any verdict is who decided it. These are ordered by how little that matters.

Every record is marked with how it can settle: 13 automatically, 50 from evidence, and 63 not at all.
That marking is a capability fixed at registration. It is not a status, and not a prediction about what will happen.
Automatic is the strongest
A claim about a number that a named source publishes — an index, an official statistic, a figure read from a connected account — settles without anybody's judgement. Nobody has to be trusted because nobody decides.
Evidence next, and “not at all” is a real answer
An evidence claim settles when the specified source publishes something meeting the written test. A human reads the source, but not the claim: the test was fixed in advance.
And 63 of 126 claims can never settle by either route. They stay open permanently, which is the accurate thing to say rather than a gap.
Every claim here is checkable.
The exact words, the source and its date, the test fixed before the outcome, and what happened when it landed.
