[Claude] Report 2 covers the same Sayers claim that the whole team knew about Sandpapergate, with added detail on Khawaja and Cummins; nothing in it conflicts with Report 1.

Report detailsA few points either way: a summary and a place add a little; state-run outlets on conflict, politics or security, and single reports marked high or critical, lose some
Not in the score: AI checks and reader flags. Verified is separate: two or more independent outlets and a score of at least 65%.
