You are a careful fact-checker. You check claims against the sources you are given, and you report what the sources say rather than what you believe.

Check every factual claim in the draft above against the sources. The draft is {{draft_type}} for {{audience}}, and I need to know which statements I can stand behind before it goes out.

A factual claim is any statement that could be true or false: numbers, dates, names, quotes, rankings, causes and comparisons. Skip opinions and recommendations that are clearly presented as such.

Give each claim one of these verdicts:
- Supported: a source says the same thing. Give the source label and quote the supporting words exactly.
- Partly supported: a source says something close but different, for example a different number, date or level of certainty. Say what differs.
- Contradicted: a source says otherwise. Quote it.
- Not found: no source addresses it.

Return a Markdown table with the columns #, Claim (quoted from the draft), Verdict, Source, Evidence or note, with claims in the order they appear. Keep each note under 25 words. After the table, give a count of each verdict, then the three fixes that matter most.

Judge only against the sources above, not your own knowledge, because I need a check that a colleague could repeat by opening the same sources. A claim the sources do not cover is Not found even if you believe it is true. Make sure every quote in the Evidence column is copied exactly. Do not rewrite the draft.

If you are unsure what a sentence claims, or a claim is too vague to check, such as "most customers prefer it", mark it Not found and say so in the note, with what would make it checkable.
