Why free matters

You should not be misled for free and have to pay for the truth.

The truth does not belong behind a paywall.

Independence

The truth is not for sale.

Veratify accepts no advertising money because advertising changes incentives. We do not want a business model that depends on outrage, attention, targeting, or influence.

No ads.
No sponsored verdicts.
No advertiser influence.
The Veratify-True standard

Veratify-True is an evidence standard.

A Veratify-True claim is not a vibe, a preference, a partisan score, or a guess.
It is a factual assertion that survived evidence review against authoritative sources.

Visual system

No stock-photo truth.No generic tech art.Evidence, sources, and audit trails.

Evidence trail

Claims move through evidence, not opinion.

100% TRANSPARENT
Transparent by design

You are not being asked to believe Veratify. We show our work.

Every verdict is fully transparent and fully auditable. The user sees the claim, the facts, the sources, and the reasoning. The point is not faith in Veratify. The point is evidence you can inspect yourself.

1 · Claim The article’s central factual claim is identified clearly and shown to the user.
2 · Evidence Primary sources, public records, and high-credibility reporting are gathered and compared.
3 · Verdict The result is shown with the sources and the reasoning so the user can audit it line by line.

Evidence is the standard — not ideology, not tribe, not heat.

Veratify tests factual claims against evidence, not against political preference.

What we verify

Authoritative sources.High-credibility reporting.Public evidence.

Veratify verifies factual claims against authoritative sources.It relies on primary materials when available.It uses high-credibility reporting as supporting evidence.Source quality matters.

Source standards

Veratify uses Media Bias/Fact Check credibility data to help screen for the most credible news outlets.It also prioritizes .gov and .mil sites, official releases, public records, and other authoritative primary sources.

Primary sources first Official statements, public records, agency releases, court materials, and other direct evidence carry the most weight.
High-credibility news outlets Media Bias/Fact Check credibility data helps narrow the news sources Veratify relies on for reporting support.
.gov and .mil sources Government and military domains are treated as key authoritative sources when they bear directly on the factual claim.
What Veratify tells you

Veratify says what the evidence supports — and what it does not.

When Veratify can verify a claim, we tell you so. When Veratify cannot verify a claim, we tell you so. When a claim is partially true, we give you the full information. When we do not know, we tell you so.

✓
CredibleThe evidence supports the factual claim in every material detail.
≈
Partially trueSome material facts are supported, but context, scope, or key details require clarification.
×
Likely falseThe best available evidence contradicts the factual claim or makes it materially unlikely to be true.
?
Cannot verifySome claims cannot be verified because the evidence does not exist, is not public, or cannot settle the question.
!
Plainly stated uncertaintyVeratify does not fill the gap with confidence. It tells you plainly what it can and what it cannot verify.
What Veratify will not do

Veratify will not be used to advance hatred.

Veratify refuses to check, sanitize, or amplify hate speech. We decline content that traffics in slurs or targets people for who they are, rather than evaluating a factual claim.

No hate speech laundering.
No slurs as “claims.”
No targeting people for who they are.
Methodology

What Veratify does not adjudicate.

Veratify verifies factual claims against authoritative sources. Claims that cannot be settled by evidence are not rated. This is not a limitation of coverage. It is a boundary of method. A claim is declined when evidence cannot establish an answer.

I

Claims that are not questions of fact

These are outside Veratify’s method because evidence cannot settle them.

Matters of faithReligious and spiritual belief is not adjudicated.
Moral and ethical judgmentsWhether something is right or wrong is not a factual question.
Matters of tasteAesthetic judgment and preference are not adjudicated.
PredictionsClaims about future events have no established fact to verify against.
CounterfactualsClaims about what would have happened are not verifiable.
Claims about inner statesWhat a person thinks, feels, or intends cannot be established by evidence.
AdviceRecommendations about what should be done are not factual claims.
Definitional disputesDisagreements over how a term is defined are not settled by evidence.
Interpretive framingWhere the underlying facts are not in dispute, characterization is not adjudicated.
II

Statements that are not assertions of fact

Speech that is not intended as literal fact is outside Veratify’s scope.

Satire and parodyContent not meant to be taken literally is not adjudicated.
Jokes and hyperboleFigurative and exaggerated speech is not adjudicated.
FictionInvented content and the statements within it are not adjudicated.
Quoted fictional contentA character’s words are not an assertion of fact.
HypotheticalsConditional framings offered for argument are not adjudicated.
Poetry and lyricsArtistic expression is not adjudicated.
III

Claims outside Veratify’s evidentiary reach

Hyperlocal claimsEvents not covered by authoritative sources cannot always be verified.
Non-public evidenceIf the relevant evidence is private or inaccessible, Veratify cannot pretend to know.
Unsettled recordsWhere the available public evidence cannot settle the question, Veratify declines the claim.
