Method

Evidence first, for every single claim

A person’s office can be verified while another detail is only sourced. So the status sits on each statement, not on the whole page. Machine-extracted data never goes straight to the record: it waits as a proposal until a source supports it.

Read the method
Verified
Confirmed by an official record of the government or institution.
Sourced
Backed by an identifiable, reputable source; not yet confirmed by an official record.
Disputed
Credible sources conflict, or the claim is formally contested.
Unverified
Proposed or collected, with insufficient evidence so far. Not shown as fact.
  1. 01

    Collect

    Official pages, gazettes and registers first; reputable media only to discover changes.

  2. 02

    Check

    An editor opens every source and compares the claim with the source text.

  3. 03

    Record

    Each claim is stored with its source, the date it was true and the date it was checked.
