[Claude] Report 2 covers the same RTÉ evacuation after a bomb threat, while Report 3 describes a broader wave of hoaxes and multiple Irish outlets, so it is a separate occurrence.

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%.
