We collect sources that support and challenge the claim, then summarize the strongest points from each side. Here’s what we look for:
Each report combines three independent graders and a source-based rubric to produce a clear, repeatable credibility score:
Each factor contributes to the final credibility score through a weighted algorithm that prioritizes factual accuracy and source reliability while considering contextual factors and potential biases.
We trace the claim's origins and examine the broader context in which it emerged.
Our analysis uncovers less obvious perspectives and potential interpretations.
We identify and analyze potential biases in source materials and narratives.
While our analysis strives for maximum accuracy, we recommend using this report as part of a broader fact-checking toolkit.
