About Factful News: An Evidence-First Fact-Checking Desk
Factful News is an evidence-first verification desk built to make uncertainty legible, not to erase it.
What Factful does
Factful analyzes public news articles claim by claim. It compares factual statements with independent reporting and primary sources, then publishes the evidence, its confidence, and the limits of what can be concluded.
What Factful does not do
A Factful score is not a judgment about an entire publisher, a person, or a political viewpoint. It is a time-bounded assessment of specific claims using sources available when the check was performed.
Why the evidence stays visible
Readers should not have to trust a black box. Source links, claim-level verdicts, confidence, and uncertainty remain part of every published check so the reasoning can be challenged and corrected.
