HOW TO READ RHA

Four labels prevent four different claims from being confused.

A constitutional provision, a reported statistic, an interpretation and a policy proposal do not carry the same authority. Our articles identify which kind of statement a reader is seeing.

FACT

Verifiable record

Official text, judgment, dataset or clearly attributed report.

ANALYSIS

Reasoned interpretation

What evidence may imply, including uncertainty and limitations.

RHA POSITION

Policy advocacy

What the platform proposes—not a statement of current law.

METHOD

Research process

How material was selected, compared, reviewed and updated.

ACCOUNTABILITY
