Methods
This site is built for clarity and auditability.
Evidence standards
- Primary sources first (original video, transcript, document, dataset).
- Every factual assertion should have a citation.
- Corrections are explicit and timestamped.
Levels of confidence
- Intake: raw lead captured for tracking. Not yet verified. May include screenshots/links only.
- Draft: the claim is pinned to a specific quote and date, and at least one primary source is attached.
- Verified: multiple independent sources or a definitive primary record support the conclusion.
- Debunked: the strongest version of the claim is tested and shown false/misleading with citations and an explicit update log.
Debunking format
- Claim: quote + context + date.
- What is true and what is false.
- Sources: links and archived references when possible.
- Updates: what changed and why.
