Useful context, not penalties

Opinion format Argumentative wording is expected in this format, so narrator-voice and decision-pressure cues receive reduced weight.
Attributed claims Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.
Uncertainty qualifiers Qualifiers such as may, might, or reportedly are disclosed as technique but do not add framing-risk points by themselves.
Attributed framing cues Attributed or quoted cues remain visible, but their score contribution is reduced to avoid assigning a speaker's wording to the reporter.

What this grade does and does not mean

This grade evaluates wording and reader-steering cues, not factual accuracy.
The outlet's general profile is separate context and does not affect this article grade.
