Gwet's AC1
Gwet's AC1 is a chance-corrected agreement coefficient introduced by Kilem Gwet in 2008 as a robust alternative to Cohen's and Fleiss' kappa. It targets the kappa paradox — the unsettling result where coders agree on the vast majority of units yet kappa is near zero because one category dominates — by estimating chance agreement in a way that does not collapse when category prevalence is extreme.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
