Methodology

How Our AI Fact Checking Methodology Works

Fact Checker never returns a flat "real" or "fake." Every case is a score assembled from independent findings, shown in full — so you can judge the evidence yourself, not just trust our conclusion.

Source reputation

Publisher & Domain Analysis

Is this from a known outlet, a fresh anonymous account, or somewhere in between?

Fact-checker cross-reference

Debunk Database Lookup

Has this exact claim already been reviewed by an independent fact-checking organization?

AI-generation signal

Synthesized Media Detection

Statistical and metadata signals associated with AI-generated content — a confidence range, never certainty.

Limitation notice: Fact Checker is a research aid, not a fact. AI-detection signals in particular carry real error rates. Always use judgment before sharing or acting on a verdict.
