  == 3. How does FactHarbor handle claims that are "true in one context but false in another"? ==
  This is exactly what FactHarbor is designed for:
  **Scenarios capture contexts**:
--
  * Each scenario defines specific boundaries, definitions, and assumptions
  * The same claim can have different verdicts in different scenarios
  * Example: "Coffee is healthy" depends on:
--** Definition of "healthy" (reduces disease risk? improves mood? affects specific conditions?)
--** Population (adults? pregnant women? people with heart conditions?)
--** Consumption level (1 cup/day? 5 cups/day?)
--** Time horizon (short-term? long-term?)
