| Considering all of the evidence and the quality of that evidence, this claim has absolutely no merit and has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be untrue. | Although there are elements of truth in this claim, the evidence casts such considerable doubt as to the truth of this claim, that it is fairly clear that the claim is not true and/or valid. | Circumstantial or minor evidence does seem to support this claim, but not enough to make a determination. “Reasonable doubt” exists. | The evidence provided does support the claim, but there are still uncertainties as to whether that support really proves the claim is true. This rating is the result of a “hung jury.” | There is a small amount of room for interpretation, but considering all of the evidence and the quality of that evidence, the claim is strongly supported and is most likely true and/or valid. | Considering all of the evidence and the quality of that evidence, it is quite obvious that this claim is true and valid. |
