Fact-checking

Checks an article's numbers for misleading percentages, missing base rates, cherry-picked windows and correlation sold as causation, recomputing what it can. Use before quoting it.

Assesses how far a source can be trusted for a specific claim using lateral reading (author, evidence, funding, corroboration) and gives a reasoned verdict. Use before citing a source.

Checks each factual claim in a text against sources it actually retrieves, rates it with evidence and links, and says plainly when a claim cannot be verified. Use before publishing or sharing.

Analyses one article for spin such as loaded words, selective quotes, buried caveats and missing context, describes the effect on the reader, and rewrites the headline and lede neutrally.

Audits an AI-generated answer claim by claim for factual errors, fabricated sources, invented numbers and unsupported reasoning, and produces a risk-ranked verification plan.

Audits the evidence a text itself offers for each claim, labelling claims supported, weakly supported, unsupported or contradicted, and naming the reasoning gaps, without outside research.

Checks a health or nutrition claim against the hierarchy of evidence and explains in plain words what the research does and does not show, without personal medical advice. For health news readers.

Checks a long document for internal contradictions in numbers, dates, names, definitions and claims, listing each conflict with both locations and the arithmetic where relevant.

Checks whether a summary or paraphrase faithfully represents its source, sentence by sentence, flagging distortions, overstatements, dropped hedges, omissions and claims the source never made.

Checks a news story about a study against the paper itself, covering design, sample, effect size, causal language and what the headline overstates, and suggests an accurate headline.

Explains what the evidence currently shows on a contested question, separating consensus, active debate and fringe claims, with the kinds of studies behind each and honest uncertainty.

Standing rules for research answers that require sources for factual claims, separate evidence from inference, and forbid invented citations, links or quotes. Use in any research or writing setup.
