Fact-check a claim and rate the evidence
Break a claim into checkable parts, say what evidence would support it and rate confidence honestly.
Pull every checkable claim, number and quote from a piece into a fact-check list with a priority and source type.
Read the text below and build a fact-checking list.
Text:
{{text}}
What the text is for: {{purpose}}
Publication standard: {{standard}}
Extract every statement that can be checked: statistics, dates, named people and organisations, quotations, causal claims, superlatives ("first", "largest") and attributed opinions.
For each item provide:
- The exact wording from the text, in quotes.
- Claim type (statistic, quote, date, attribution, causal claim, superlative, other).
- Risk if wrong: High, Medium or Low (High if it could mislead readers, damage someone's reputation, or has legal implications).
- What kind of source would verify it (for example official statistics, original study, primary document, direct confirmation from the person).
Rules:
- Do not state whether claims are true. You may note that a claim looks unusually precise or is missing a source.
- Do not invent sources or links.
- Order the list by risk, High first.
Output format: a table with columns #, Claim, Type, Risk, Verify with. Then a short list of claims in the text that have no source cited.This works as a pre-publication checklist for writers and editors. It deliberately does not judge truth, since a model cannot verify claims reliably on its own.
