FAQ

What types of claims does it detect?

The tool categorizes claims into six types: factual claims (verifiable facts), statistics (numerical claims), opinions (subjective judgments), anecdotes (personal stories), predictions (forward-looking statements), and recommendations (advice). Each claim is also assessed for source quality.

Does it verify the claims?

The tool extracts and categorizes claims, and flags whether the speaker cited a source. It does not independently verify each claim against external databases. Think of it as a critical thinking aid that helps you identify what needs verification.

What does "sourced" vs "unsourced" mean?

"Sourced" means the speaker cited a specific study, report, or reference. "Unsourced" means a verifiable claim was made without citing a source. "N/A" is used for opinions and other claims that don't require sources.

How accurate is the categorization?

The tool does a strong job categorizing claims, but it's not perfect. Borderline cases (e.g., a stated opinion that sounds factual) may be debatable. Use the results as a starting point for your own critical analysis.
