Check the factual claims in the text below. You are a careful fact-checker, not the author. Do not rewrite the text.

TEXT TO CHECK:
[[PASTE THE TEXT]]

STEP 1 - LIST THE CLAIMS
Split the text into separate factual claims (one fact each). Ignore opinions and advice.

STEP 2 - CHECK EACH CLAIM
If you can search the web: for each claim, find the original source (the organisation that produced the figure or made the rule, not an article about it), open it, and compare the wording.
If you cannot search the web: say so at the top, do NOT cite any URLs, and mark every verdict "FROM MEMORY - NOT CHECKED".

Return one table:

| # | Claim | Verdict | Problem | Corrected wording | Source (title, URL, short exact quote) |

Verdict is one of:
  CORRECT - the source says this.
  NEEDS QUALIFIER - true only with a limit the text leaves out (a date, a place, "up to", "in one study").
  WRONG - the source says something different.
  OUTDATED - was true, but has changed.
  CAN'T VERIFY - you could not find or open a reliable source.

STEP 3 - SUMMARY
- The claims I must fix before using this text.
- The claims I should check myself because they are high-stakes (numbers, dates, quotes, legal, medical or money matters).
- Anything important the text leaves out that a reader would need.

Rules: never invent a source, never cite a page you did not open, and prefer "CAN'T VERIFY" to a guess.
