Rationale¶
| Dimension | Rationale |
|---|---|
| Reliability | Medium. First Draft was co-founded by Claire Wardle, one of the taxonomy's authors. While authoritative on the topic, this is not an independent source — it is author-adjacent. |
| Relevance | Medium. Confirms the taxonomy and its categories from the perspective of one of the authors' organizations. Useful for verification but not independent. |
| Bias flags | COI/Funding — Some concerns: Author-adjacent source. First Draft's characterization of the taxonomy may reflect the authors' preferred framing rather than an independent assessment. |
