Claims this domain carried

Claims this domain published, and whether an assistant later cited it while answering about them
Claim	Verdict	Cited on it	Source-to-answer line
“NATO and EU stoking Baltic tensions”	FALSE	0	published, not cited
“Western strategy to dismember Russia”	FALSE	0	published, not cited

A source-to-answer line means this domain published the falsehood and an assistant cited it while answering about that same falsehood — the strongest single piece of evidence the registry produces.

Cited on claims it did not carry

Claims where assistants cited this domain although it is not recorded as having published them

“EU human rights agenda as interference”	FALSE	1	2 assistants
“UK and EU media sabotage peace efforts”	FALSE	1	2 assistants
“NATO nuclear strike testing claim”	FALSE	1	2 assistants

These are candidates for the claim card: the domain reached an answer about a claim we have not recorded it as distributing.

Cited by assistant and question type

Citation counts per assistant and question type. Counts only: a share would need a denominator that lives in the metrics store.
Chatbot	Total
Grok	13
Perplexity	13

Counts of answers, one per answer per domain. Persona columns are never summed into a single figure, and a citation count is not a rate: the denominator lives in the metrics store.

By market

Where the citations happened. Counts, never merged into one figure.

Citations per run. Search-grounded assistants reshuffle their sources between runs for reasons unrelated to anything we do, so a movement here is not on its own a finding.
