Compare A Viral Battery Breakthrough Claim Against The Evidence
A headline promises a battery that will change everything, and it is genuinely hard to tell from the outside whether that is a lab result or a product you can buy next year. This strips the hype from the claim, explains the likely gap between claim and evidence, and gives one question to ask before sharing it further.

2. Identify the most likely gap between claim and evidence: an early stage lab result presented as a finished product, a small scale result generalised too far, or a genuine but overstated result
3. Explain what this kind of claim usually looks like once the full research, rather than the headline, is examined
4. Give one question a reader should ask before sharing the claim further
