ABOUT THESE COUNTS

The count is the number of source-backed facts we currently hold from each source, 89,217 in total. It is an aggregate only: the underlying quotes, page snapshots, and per-fact evidence stay internal. Search locators propose candidate URLs, so their claims are counted only once proven against a fetched source. For how a fact moves from a source to a published value, see the methodology.
