05The basics
What is a factual claim?
A specific statement that can be verified against evidence — not opinion, not prediction. If it can’t be checked, we don’t check it.

06Common questions
Questions, answered.
AI hallucinates. How can you use it to fact-check?+
We built our fact-checking platform to be search-first, not AI-first. We begin by finding authoritative sources about a claim and only then summarize the results. Every fact-check includes a full list of direct sources as supporting evidence, so reviewers can click through and verify the information themselves.
What is a trusted source?+
We prioritize the most authoritative sources available for each claim, including official government websites, peer-reviewed journals, major research institutions, and established media outlets. All sources we use are provided so you can review them directly.
How do you decide what is "accurate"?+
We don’t. Instead, we look for information from authoritative sources and summarize what we find, helping you understand whether a claim has supporting evidence or not. The accuracy score simply reflects how closely the claim matches the sources we found.
Catch it before it ships.
