Trust & Transparency
Fact-checkers ask you to trust them. We'd rather show you the machinery. These numbers come straight from our database and update automatically.
Where the evidence landed
We follow the evidence, not a narrative. Some conspiracies are real and we say so; most famous ones fall apart under scrutiny. The full distribution:
How our content is made
Conspirafy is an AI-assisted newsroom, and we say so plainly. Drafts are produced with AI research assistance, then have to clear the same quality gates before publication: minimum evidence counts on both sides of a claim, minimum independent sources, a timeline, key figures, and FAQ coverage. Pages that fall short are flagged on the page itself — look for the depth banner.
Every theory page carries a public changelog, a "what would change our verdict" section, and a next-review date. When we get something wrong, the correction is logged publicly on our corrections page and on the affected page — never silently edited away.
The full process, including our evidence-weighting rubric and a worked example, is documented in our methodology and editorial standards. How the site is paid for is on the funding page.
Keeping verdicts current
Verdicts aren't forever — new documents get declassified, new evidence emerges. Every theory has a scheduled re-review date.
Right now 6 theories arepast their scheduled review date. We publish that number because hiding a backlog is exactly what we'd criticise anyone else for.

Check our work
We archive the primary documents behind our verdicts — FOIA releases, congressional reports, court filings, official investigations — with SHA-256 hashes so you can verify a file hasn't been altered. Read the actual documents, not our summary of them:
