How score signals are formed
Bias score signal
Bias signal combines framing pressure, emotional wording, selective emphasis, and one-sided narrative markers.
Emotionality signal
Emotionality rises when evidence contains emotionally loaded wording and evaluative labels.
One-sidedness signal
One-sidedness rises when one frame dominates and alternative interpretations are weakly represented.
Evidence strength signal
Evidence strength rises with concrete claims, attributed statements, and verifiable contextual support.
