How our confidence labels work
Leonida Daily labels every location and claim with a confidence level. Here's exactly what each label means and how something moves up the scale.
Everything on Leonida Daily carries a confidence label. It’s not decoration — it’s the core of how we can be both fast and trustworthy. A label tells you, at a glance, how sure we are and why. Here’s the full scale.
The labels
- Confirmed by Rockstar — stated directly by Rockstar Games or Take-Two, on an official channel. The top of the scale. Example: the 19 November 2026 release date.
- Confirmed in trailer / screenshot — visible in official first-party footage. The thing exists; if it’s a location, its exact map position may still be an inference (we flag that separately).
- Community verified in-game — reserved for after launch, when the community can confirm something directly in the released game. Not applicable pre-launch.
- Likely — strong supporting evidence or a clear pattern, but no first-party confirmation. Reasonable to believe; not proven.
- Rumoured — circulating and plausible, but unverified. Treat with caution.
- Debunked / Removed — actively contradicted by evidence, or previously listed and now retracted. We keep these visible rather than quietly deleting them.
How something moves up the scale
New information enters at low confidence by default. It’s then deduplicated against what we already track, checked for a real source, verified where possible, labelled, and only then published. Nothing auto-promotes to “Confirmed” — a human-reviewed evidence step stands between a rumour and that top label. When evidence arrives, an item moves up; when it’s contradicted, it moves down to Debunked and stays visible.
Why we do it this way
Most GTA coverage optimises for confident headlines. That’s how a leak becomes “confirmed” in three retweets. Our bet is the opposite: that a clearly-labelled “Rumoured” you can trust is worth more than a “Confirmed” you can’t. The labels are the product — on the tracker for claims, and on the map for locations.
If we ever get something wrong, the label moves and the change is logged. Being correctable in public is the point, not an embarrassment.
