SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Journalists and editors need a repeatable method to verify claims before publication so that factual errors and reputational damage can be avoided.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured claim extraction: Capture statements, speakers, context, type, and priority while focusing effort on the most consequential assertions.
  • Evidence gathering and documentation: Use guided research logs, source evaluation tables, and checklists to collect primary and secondary proof before publishing a verdict.
  • Rating, documentation, and correction protocols: Apply rating templates, contact templates, and correction logs to transparently rate each claim and document follow-up steps. For example, a newsroom verifying a politician's speech can log each claim, gather official evidence, contact sources for response, and prepare any necessary corrections before publication.
