high ≥ 0.90 · emerging ≥ 0.65 · low below — calibrated against hand-rated truth (single-source .44 · two-source .62 · production-typical .70), so a band is a measurement, not a promise. High is rare by design: it needs both a supported assertion and an evidence sentence. A confirmed or contradicted chip is a Wikidata cross-check; no chip means Wikidata has no value for that property — the ordinary case here, and it says nothing either way. A confirm-only note marks a property whose check can never disagree (Wikidata's border and capital data is not exhaustive), so silence there is a limit of the check, not of the claim.

evidence “Jordan surged ahead of a crowded field and won the Best Actor Oscar in 2026 for his dual role in Ryan Coogler's marvelous epic "Sinners" as twins Elijah "Smoke" and Elias "Stack" Moore," it was regarded as an upset after Timothée Chalamet blew audiences away in "Marty Supreme" and Leonardo DiCaprio delivered one of his best turns in years in "One Battle After Another."
