Publishers

How a masthead has done, across everyone writing under it. Useful when a byline is the site rather than a person — and worth knowing even when it is not, since an outlet is what most readers actually choose.

Counted the same way as a pundit: by article, with a paginated series counting once. A publisher needs ten graded articles before we will rank it.

Accuracy by publisher

Average score out of 100 across every graded call under that banner. The count beside each bar is how much evidence sits behind it.

The masthead map

Volume against results. Far right publishes the most gradable calls; high up grades the best. The interesting quadrants are the corners — prolific and sharp, or prolific and not.

Against the baseline

MissedTakes score: accuracy measured against what a naive guess would have scored on the same claims. Zero means no better than guessing — and a publisher can be accurate while scoring badly here, if the calls were easy ones.

Too early to rank

These have graded work but not the ten articles it takes before we will put a number on the masthead. The scores above are real; they are just thin.
