Methodology & standards

Every fact has
a lineage.

“Discover the four-stage framework that keeps Factstorya rigorous, objective, and deeply trustworthy.”

The verification framework

Four stages.
No shortcuts.

Our process is designed to preserve both factual accuracy and the full context that gives a story meaning.

01

Origin before interpretation

Primary Source Archiving

We begin at the origin: peer-reviewed papers, historical records, institutional archives, public datasets, and direct documentation. Each source is recorded before drafting begins.

02

Multiple lenses, one standard

Cross-Disciplinary Fact-Checking

A claim rarely belongs to only one field. We compare specialist research, ask domain experts to challenge assumptions, and verify numbers against independent evidence.

03

No sensational shortcuts

Contextual Integrity

A true detail can still mislead when stripped of context. We protect chronology, scale, uncertainty, and expert disagreement—never trading nuance for a dramatic headline.

04

Accountability after publication

Transparent Errata & Peer Corrections

Truthful publishing includes the courage to correct. Substantive updates are dated, explained, and preserved so readers can see how a story has evolved.
