SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Track when the same entity makes conflicting statements over time, and flag inconsistencies to support critical-analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Log statements for entities to memory and organize by date, claim, and source.
  • Detect and classify contradictions across statements (direct reversal, selective memory, moving goalposts, contextual flip, gradual drift).
  • Manage memory with per-entity limits and topic tagging to enable targeted checks and analysis.

Quick Start

Log a statement for an entity and then submit a new claim to trigger a contradiction check.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track contradictions in public statements over time?

Contradiction tracking works by storing statements in memory with dates and sources, then comparing new claims to past ones. It classifies inconsistencies into types like direct reversal, selective memory, and gradual drift.

What types of statement shifts can be detected when analyzing political statements?

When analyzing political statements, the system detects direct reversals, selective memory, moving goalposts, contextual flips, and gradual drifts. These classifications help identify how a public figure's position has shifted.

How do I start fact-checking an entity's claims for inconsistent positions?

Start fact-checking inconsistent positions by logging an entity's initial statement with its source and date. Submitting a new claim afterward triggers an automated contradiction check against stored memory.

Are there limits to tracking contradictions for a single public figure?

Yes, memory limits apply when tracking a public figure: up to 20 statements are stored per entity. Topic tagging manages this capacity by enabling targeted contradiction checks and analysis.

Can I organize logged statements by topic for targeted contradiction checks?

Yes, you can organize logged statements using topic tagging. This memory management feature enables targeted checks and analysis when comparing new claims against past entity statements.
