How a dispute is identified
A story qualifies when at least 6 outlets covered it and the coverage spans both sides of
the political spectrum (left+center-left and center-right+right). V.E.R.I.F.Y. is then
asked whether the outlets disagree on a specific, checkable point — a "disagreement on
tone" finds no dispute. Divergence score (0-100) measures how far apart the coverage leans,
independent of whether a checkable point was found. See coverage blind
spots for the related "one side stayed silent entirely" signal.
