Every take from Matt Verderame, including the ones still waiting →

Is Matt Verderame accurate? Across 17 graded calls in 2 articles, Matt Verderame scores 31.25% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 0, which means their calls were no better than a naive guess on the same claims. That is a provisional record, fewer than ten graded articles, so the numbers are not yet meaningful and they are not ranked on the leaderboard.
