Start Verifying NowOur Verification Framework
We combine human expertise with algorithmic precision to score the facts.
Real-Time Verification
Our rapid-response team tracks viral claims across social media platforms to provide instant context and verification before misinformation spreads.
Source Reliability Index
A comprehensive database of news outlets scored on historical accuracy, transparency, and editorial standards to help you choose your sources wisely.
Contextual Analysis
We don't just say "True" or "False." We provide the missing context, historical data, and nuanced explanations that binary labels often miss.
The Science of Fact-Checking
In the digital age, information moves faster than truth. The "Infodemic" has made it increasingly difficult for news consumers to distinguish between evidence-based reporting and motivated reasoning. FactScore was built to solve this by introducing a standardized, data-driven approach to information integrity.
Our methodology relies on the Triangulation Principle. Every claim is cross-referenced against multiple primary sources, including official records, academic journals, and first-hand documentation. We assign a weighted score based on the quality of evidence, the reputation of the source, and the consistency of the data over time.
By quantifying accuracy, we empower researchers, journalists, and students to navigate the complex media landscape with confidence. Our scores are not opinions; they are reflections of the verifiable data available at the time of publication, updated as new evidence emerges.
