How was this scored?
This analysis breaks content into individual claims, then evaluates each one against known information and established sources.
Source Score: Checks whether cited sources exist, are established, and have a track record of accuracy.
Claim Score: Evaluates whether factual assertions can be independently verified. Opinions are identified and labeled separately.
Context Score: Assesses whether important context, caveats, or opposing evidence has been included or omitted.
Important: This tool measures verifiability, not truth. A high score means well-sourced content. A low score means claims lack verifiable sources.
Process
Paste a link from YouTube, X, TikTok, or any news site. Or paste the text content directly.
Multiple independent AI research modules work in parallel to break the content into individual claims, each cross-referencing against live web data, established sources, and known information — then their findings are unified into a single consensus analysis.
Get a transparent verifiability score with a full claim-by-claim breakdown. Every score shows its work.
About
Thank you for visiting CFRU. We're building a verification tool that helps people independently double-check the news and information they encounter online: quickly, transparently, and without taking sides.
Our goal is not to be a source of truth. It's to give you the tools to evaluate claims for yourself. CFRU cross-references content against established sources, fact-check databases, wire services, and public records so you can see how well-sourced a piece of content really is.
This is an ambitious, independent project with a simple mission: strengthen the information landscape by making verification accessible to everyone. We believe that better-informed readers lead to better-informed communities, and that reducing the spread of misinformation and disinformation starts with making it easier to spot.
CFRU is a work in progress. We are actively developing new capabilities, including a community-driven verification layer where users can contribute evidence, flag inaccuracies, and help refine the analysis. Your feedback at this early stage is genuinely valuable and directly shapes what we build next.
CFRU is currently in closed beta. If you'd like to stay updated on our progress and be notified when we officially launch, we'd love to have you along for the journey.
Transparency
We measure verifiability, not truth. A high score means the content is well-sourced and claims can be independently checked. A low score means claims lack verifiable sources - not necessarily that they are false.
Checks whether cited sources exist, are established publications or institutions, and have a track record of accuracy.
Evaluates whether specific factual assertions can be independently verified through multiple sources. Opinions are identified and labeled separately.
Assesses whether important context, caveats, or opposing evidence has been included or omitted.
CFRU does not evaluate political opinions or take sides. We only assess whether factual claims are backed by verifiable sources. Every analysis shows its full reasoning so you can judge for yourself.
