5. Claim-evidence alignment Very strong
All claims independently verifiable Six overlapping certifications No contradictory evidence

Every major claim O My Bag Amsterdam makes publicly is backed by at least one independently verifiable certification.

This is one of the strongest claim-evidence profiles in our evaluation set.
