Before the Index. The Hype Index is the continuation of Hype Check Now and Hype Check Live. Those 226 earlier editions are preserved in full at the archive. They predate the Index and carry no verdict or component score, so they are not part of the scored record above. Nothing was deleted when the two merged.

The verdicts

Underrated

The evidence is stronger than the attention it gets.

Holds Up

The claim survives contact with its own source.

Half True

Real finding, wrong scope. Correct in part, misapplied in practice.

Overstated

Sound evidence, carried far past what it actually measured.

Unsupported

No source that survives inspection.
