One case per outlet per settled dossier, and only when the outlet is an origin of that dossier's reporting: copying another outlet earns neither credit nor blame. It was right if it reported a move that was then confirmed, or denied one that was then dismissed. Interest that never materialised is not held against it. The archive has 31 settled dossiers; these are the ones where FootballTransfers was an origin. Its tier (Tier 3 · Secondary): Secondary sources: aggregators, fan-run news sites, apps and databases; good for coverage, weak as evidence alone. Full rules: methodology.
