Reading the plot
Left → right = when it first entered the corpus (year ticks on the axis)
Bottom → top = median claim confidence, CCS 0–100; the dashed line is the
contract's 60 gate
Size = how often the corpus talks about it
Hollow, dashed dot = no scored claim, so the height is a status stand-in, not a
measurement
Top strip = the show itself, which has no CCS:
episodes
guests
Colour → dominant class of its evidence:
fact
inference
speculation
unscored
Lines → documentary support ≥ .60
testimonial
contradicts
corroborates
appearance
What to look for
The corpus splits along the 60 line. Above it sits the documented material — named
programmes, filed patents, people with a paper trail. Below it sits the part the show is
actually about, and it is the larger half. Filter to speculation and the bottom
band fills; filter to fact and it empties.
