The receipts. This is the exact material every model was shown for this day and region, followed by what each of them made of it — in its own words, next to the number it gave.
It is worth reading once even if you skip everything else: it is where confident-sounding reasoning and a score that turns out to be no better than chance sit side by side.
Evidence is gathered once per (date, region, depth_profile), hashed, and reused for every model in the run. A disagreement below is therefore a disagreement about identical input, not two models getting different search results. The evidence hash shown on this page is what makes that checkable.
These headlines, in this order, are the entire world the models were given. Nothing else about Europe on 2026-07-04 was in the prompt.
The war in the Middle East has caused significant disruptions in the market for refined petroleum products, affecting not only Asia but also Europe.
According to a sobering analysis by The Economist, this late-June heat spike could cause around 12,000 excess deaths across Europe. The study, covering 854...
Europe's U.S. LNG purchases hit a two-year low in June as Asian buyers paid more, complicating a new trade deal's $750 billion pledge.

Extracts: not gathered at shallow depth — Stage 7 populates extracts only for standard and deep profiles. Zero here means "not requested", not "requested and empty". Full article texts: not gathered at shallow depth — only the deep profile fetches them.
The shallow profile requests 20 headlines and 10 are stored. That is a known provider cap, not a clipped payload: the Serper news endpoint returns at most 10 items per request regardless of the count asked for, and pagination has not been added. The three profiles currently differ in enrichment, not in headline breadth.
Same headlines, same rendered prompt, different readings. Where two models diverge, the disagreement is about interpretation, because the input was byte-identical and the hash proves it. The scored verdicts here span 35.0 points of the 0-100 scale.
Europe is facing a severe public health crisis as a brutal heatwave is projected to cause thousands of excess deaths across the continent. Compounding this environmental disaster are significant energy supply disruptions stemming from conflict in the Middle East and declining LNG imports, which threaten broader economic stability.
A deadly heatwave is causing thousands of excess deaths across Europe, while energy supply disruptions from the Middle East conflict and reduced U.S. LNG imports add economic strain. However, there is no evidence of armed conflict or state collapse, keeping the score below critical.
The region is experiencing significant disruptions due to a heatwave, energy supply issues, and trade complications, which are causing widespread concern and potential harm to the population. The chaos score is elevated due to the severity of the heatwave, which is expected to cause around 12,000 excess deaths, and the potential for further energy shortages and trade disruptions.
Europe faces multiple concurrent pressures: a severe heatwave causing thousands of excess deaths, disrupted energy supplies from Middle East conflicts affecting petroleum markets, reduced U.S. LNG imports complicating trade relations, and strained adaptation infrastructure. However, evidence shows active mitigation efforts including energy storage partnerships and climate adaptation planning, preventing escalation to critical instability despite serious near-term challenges to public health and energy security.
The evidence centers on a severe, deadly heat wave with an estimated ~12,000 excess deaths and mounting strain on infrastructure and adaptation capacity, alongside energy market disruption from the Middle East war, weak U.S. LNG inflows and friction over a large trade pledge. However, there is no indication of armed conflict, governmental breakdown or civil unrest within the EU itself, and some items point to constructive investment and transit cooperation, keeping instability elevated rather than acute.
Every model returned a parseable verdict for this evidence, so no failure card is shown. Non-ok rows are rendered by the same component — with error_text where the rationale would be — and are covered by tests/rationale_card_test.tsx.
