Every post on SPEAC is read before it goes live — and every post that makes a checkable claim goes through the automated fact-checking process. Greetings, opinions, and questions for the community publish clean: SPEAC knows when it isn't needed. Here's exactly how we do it — because transparency about our method matters as much as the method itself.
SPEAC draws on a range of international sources including official government records, public transcripts, and primary documents such as court filings and institutional reports. Where available, we prioritize sources with documented editorial standards, published correction policies, and no direct financial or political stake in the claim being evaluated. Blogs, forums, and social media are never cited as primary sources.
Not all sources are treated equally — and we think that's a feature, not a flaw. Peer-reviewed research and primary documents rank higher than secondary reporting or opinion. Claims corroborated by multiple independent sources from different countries or traditions carry more weight than those supported by a single outlet. The criteria are applied consistently so that the process, while not value-neutral in its design, is transparent and auditable.
Your trust score reflects your posting history over time. A VERIFIED finding improves it. A DISPUTED finding lowers it. CONTESTED, OPINION, and COULD NOT REVIEW findings carry no impact — because SPEAC never penalizes nuance, complexity, or genuine uncertainty. Only demonstrable falsehood affects your score.
SPEAC applies the same editorial standards regardless of where a claim originates. Source selection follows the geography and nature of the claim — not the location of the platform. Canadian sources are used when most credible and relevant, not by default. The same rigour applied to a claim about Ottawa applies to one about Tehran.
No AI is perfect. Ours isn't either. Sources can have blind spots, emerging information can outpace what's indexed, and reasonable people can disagree on interpretation. What we can promise is that the reasoning behind every finding is visible — you never have to take our word for it.
For too long, misinformation has spread online with virtual impunity. SPEAC is a genuine, concerted effort to introduce accountability without claiming to have all the answers. We won't satisfy everyone. But we believe the internet deserves better than the status quo — and we're building toward that, one verified post at a time.
Don't restructure it. Don't make it more formal. Just paste your post and see what comes back. SPEAC is designed to meet you where you are — not the other way around.
If the finding doesn't feel right, try adding a date or location for context. If you're posting about something very recent, mention when it happened. A little more context goes a long way.

Every checked claim receives one of five findings: Verified, Disputed, Contested, Could Not Review, or Opinion. The CONTESTED finding is unique to SPEAC — it acknowledges that some claims involve genuine disagreement among experts or institutions, and that intellectual honesty sometimes means saying exactly that rather than forcing a verdict the evidence doesn't support.

Everything you post gets fact-checked eventually — by a reader, a rival, a community note, after the fact, when the damage is done. SPEAC moves that moment to where it protects you: before you publish. The finding comes to you first, quietly, with the evidence attached. Correct the facts, sharpen the claim, or post as-is — your call, made in private, before your audience sees a word.
On a feed where every claim is checked before it publishes, presence is proof: a standing, visible commitment to getting the facts right. Your audience doesn't have to take your word for it — the finding travels with every post. Information people can act on strategically, not react to rashly.
