We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Lake Malawi — The claim that Lake Malawi is the fifth largest freshwater lake in the world by volume is incorrect; it is actually the fourth largest by volume.
Lake Malawi — The claim that the lake is the third largest and second deepest lake in Africa is inaccurate; it is the third largest by area but the second deepest is Lake Tanganyika, while Lake Malawi is the third deepest.
