Section
One question,
answered properly.
An explainer starts with a question and answers it in the first paragraph. Then it shows its work: every number traced to a source you can open, and the date it was last checked, at the bottom where you can see it.
Published
Two so far.
Both evergreen.
The first explainers describe rules that do not change week to week, so they can be checked at leisure. Neither has yet been checked by a second person; the words "Fact-checked" will appear on each only when one has.
How the UN Security Council works
Fifteen seats, five vetoes, nine votes to pass anything. What the Council can do, what it cannot, and why one country can stop it.

What a Category 4 actually means, why the scale says nothing about water, and who decides that a storm is called Maria.

Four parts.
Always in this order.
You should be able to stop reading after one paragraph and still have the answer. Everything after that is the evidence.
The question
In the headline, in plain words. "How hurricanes are measured and named", not a pun.
The answer first
The first paragraph answers the question. No throat-clearing, no scene-setting anecdote.
The sources, numbered
Every number carries a small red numeral that leads to a source you can open yourself. At least one primary source per claim.
The check date
The last line says when the piece was last checked and against what. "Fact-checked" appears only when a second person has done it.
