Hosts, analysts and callers make calls on air every day — rate cuts, reshuffles, title races. We extract the falsifiable ones from the broadcast transcript, wait for the horizon, and score them against public sources. Every call keeps its audio receipt.

On Sept. 2 and 3, reports said nearly 70,000 beneficiaries were still to collect Postbank black cards and more than 1.8 million had switched.
The passages show public progress figures, but they do not establish that Postbank itself issued the specific public report by 2026-09-04. Because the evidence does not confirm that the deciding event occurred, this cannot be graded correct or incorrect yet.

CPUT reported calm on its campuses after the emergency evacuation of residences, with no incidents of violence or protest action reported overnight. (Corrected by the desk: the earlier explanation was an undecided draft.)
The claim was that the student evacuation would pass without violent scenes. Reports dated 20 and 21 August describe calm on campus after the evacuation, with no incidents of violence or protest action overnight, despite the violent unrest earlier that week.
The verdict· graded 09 Sept
By 9 September 2026, Iran had targeted a U.S. warship twice and the United States said it destroyed five Iranian crude oil tankers.
The prediction required both an Iranian attempt against a U.S. naval ship and a U.S. destruction of at least one Iranian oil tanker on 9 September 2026. CENTCOM said the warship was targeted twice and the U.S. destroyed five tankers, so both parts of the claim were met.
