Reading note
Translate a broad headline into a question about a specific measurement. Locate the outcome definition, its units, and the point at which it was assessed. Then check whether the article preserves that meaning when it describes the result in everyday language. If several outcomes appear, follow each separately instead of merging them into a general judgment of success. A precise reading note can state what was measured and what the headline adds. This helps expose a shift in meaning without requiring the reader to decide whether the broader claim is true.
