No endorsements. No candidate scores. Just the evidence, claim by claim.
From the moment a candidate makes a claim to the moment you see the evidence — usually under a minute.
Our system transcribes the debate in real time as candidates speak — every word, every speaker, every minute.
We pull out the specific factual claims — numbers, statistics, policy statements — and separate them from opinion.
Each claim is checked against independent sources. You get our rating and the sources behind it, so you can judge for yourself.
Every claim gets a verdict, a one-line summary of what the evidence actually says, and links to the sources we checked. Same template, every speaker, every time.
"Our teacher pay ranks forty-seventh in the country."
Lakeland's average starting teacher salary places the state 47th of 50 in the most recent national comparison. Supported by multiple independent education and labor statistics sources.
"We've got the lowest unemployment rate in a generation."
Lakeland's unemployment rate is at a multi-year low, but not the lowest on record. State labor data shows the 2018 rate was 0.4 points lower than today's figure.
"Violent crime in our capital city has tripled in the last five years."
Capital city violent crime is up over the last five years, but by roughly 22% — not 200%. "Tripled" would mean a 200% increase; the actual figure does not approach that threshold.
Some things aren't our job. Calling a winner. Rating a side. Telling you what to think. We don't do any of it — by design.
We don't score speakers or parties. We analyze individual claims, one at a time, and let the record speak.
The evidence is on the page. The sources are linked. What it means to you — and how it changes your vote — is yours to decide.
The same standard applies to every claim, from every candidate, in every debate. No exceptions, no thumb on the scale.
We provide the signals. You decide.
Every claim from every candidate, held to the same standard — on the record, with sources.
