Transparency & Integrity
Use the primary evidence, timestamps, and complete source audit trail—never a blunt verdict label alone.
FactVerify provides instant claim verification powered by advanced AI models coupled with live web grounding and document retrieval. While engineered for precision, automated models may occasionally misinterpret temporal nuance, sarcasm, complex statutory cross-references, or breaking news developments. Instant checks are research and discovery tools designed to accelerate factual verification, not infallible or judicial decrees.
Confidence percentages (e.g., 96%) reflect the degree of evidentiary coherence, source consensus, and documentary corroboration across retrieved authoritative records at the time of analysis. They represent empirical confidence based on available evidence, not mathematical certainty or philosophical truth.
Real-time checks conducted via the homepage search bar or conversational interface are confidential to your session or user account. They are not indexed by search engines or added to the public feed. Only fact checks curated, verified, and approved through editorial oversight are published in the open library.
FactVerify prioritizes official primary records—such as court dockets, statutory texts, peer-reviewed scientific studies, SEC filings, and government datasets—over secondary news reporting. However, no single record is infallible. Readers should always inspect the linked source documents and evaluate methodology, dates, and scope.
Evidence regarding breaking news, science, public policy, and active legal proceedings develops continuously. Every fact check represents the state of evidence at the specific date and time indicated. When reliable new evidence emerges, checks may be updated. Readers can request revisions via our claim submission portal.
FactVerify provides direct links to original documents and external publishers ("Visit ↗"). We have no control over third-party websites, paywalls, subsequent post-publication revisions, or domain availability, and our citation does not imply endorsement of an external entity's entire catalog.
FactVerify operates with strict editorial independence. We do not endorse candidates, political parties, commercial products, or ideological campaigns. Verdicts, confidence metrics, and evidence summaries are determined exclusively by the documentary weight of primary sources.
