THE CLAIM

One claim, checked.

Eleven outlets, one origin. The echoes collapse and the primary source stays.

THE CLAIM

A new study finds the policy cut costs by a third.

checked against 40 sources

Eleven outlets carry the one-third figure. All eleven cite the same press release, not the study. The study itself reports a range and a smaller central estimate. The release and the study are both attached.
The eleven matching outlets collapse to one origin. You see the study, not the summary of a summary.
