Claims and evidence

For each check, the red bar is the share of launches that claim it without linking an artefact, and the blue bar the share that publicly evidence it with an artefact linked. Both share one denominator: all 300 included launches.

Figure 18. Claims and evidenceper check: share that claim it without linking an artefact, then share that publicly evidence it
