Methodology & ethics
The transparency charter.
Credibility is not claimed; it is shown. Our method is open by design — this is the shield that lets institutions trust the output.
Five commitments
Inspired by IFCN principles.
- Verifiable facts only
- We assess factual accuracy against primary, authoritative evidence. We do not rate opinions.
- Transparent method
- How we detect, qualify and verify is documented and explainable — not a black box.
- Traceable sources
- Every assessment carries its provenance. You can follow the claim back to where it came from.
- Risk of misinforming
- We measure whether a claim carries a risk of misinforming — we do not arbitrate truth, and we declare our non-partisanship.
- Open corrections
- Corrections are sourced and reviewable. When we are wrong, we say so and fix it openly.
