Common Questions

Fact-Checking FAQ

How long does verification take? +
Most claims are processed within 12–24 hours. Complex scientific or historical topics requiring multi-expert consensus may take 3–7 business days.
Can I dispute a verification result? +
Yes. Every entry includes a "Request Re-evaluation" button. Disputes trigger an independent peer panel and are resolved transparently with public commentary.
How do you handle conflicting sources? +
We apply a weighted credibility matrix. When authoritative sources contradict, the entry explicitly notes the disagreement, cites both sides, and assigns conditional confidence scores.
Is AI doing the fact-checking? +
AI accelerates initial screening and source mapping, but final verification, bias assessment, and publication approval require human expert consensus. AI never makes binding editorial decisions.
