FAQPage Schema
How do I verify factual claims in a draft article before publication?

Fact-checking a public statement involves separating checkable facts from interpretations and evaluating evidence. This skill assesses quotes and statistics to produce concise verification verdicts with citations while preferring primary sources for sensitive institutional claims.

What is the best way to check evidence for quotes and statistics?

The best way to check evidence for quotes and statistics is evidence-grounded verification. This process evaluates credible sources to produce a verdict table with citations, preventing overclaiming certainty for statements that are unclear or outside the scope of verification.

How does claim triage work for fact checking?

Claim triage works by separating checkable facts, interpretations, and out-of-scope statements before evaluation begins. This triage step ensures that fact checking focuses only on verifiable claims, allowing the system to handle uncertainty and escalate decisions appropriately.

What are the limitations of fact checking for out-of-scope statements?

A limitation of fact checking is its inability to verify out-of-scope statements, which are identified during claim triage and excluded from evidence evaluation. The process also avoids overclaiming certainty, returning an unclear verdict when evidence is insufficient.
