How this list works

A claim enters the record as a verbatim quote; we never paraphrase into it. A status changes only when a dated event supports the change, and the event is linked. Missed means the stated date passed and the record shows the outcome did not occur; it is a date comparison, not a judgment of honesty. Unverified means the date passed and the public record establishes neither outcome. At risk means the date is still ahead but a named constraint in the record, a required pace not yet shown, a launch not on any manifest, a failed test, a slipped dependency, or the company's own revision, weighs against it. Claims nobody could check are recorded as such and never scored.
