Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“It is worth noting that preventing food becoming wasted (e.g. via preventing food waste at source, feeding to other people, etc.) may be more effective than diverting food that has already been categorised as waste away from landfill and incineration to other waste destinations higher up the food waste hierarchy (e.g. composting, anaerobic digestion).”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Excessive cooking in the household causes food waste, but the type of service provided in the food service industry, which provides an excessive amount of food such as a buffet, also causes food waste [43,64,105].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
