Alliance Credibility — preliminary, not for citation

Preliminary model output — not for citation. This table is for finding and comparing alliances; the credibility estimate and its credible intervals live on each alliance’s page. Tiers reflect expert coverage, not precision — gold/silver have expert ratings on file; bronze is LLM-only and provisional. Vintage: 2026-07-03.
