Case Files

Case files go deeper than the trackers. Each one follows a single story or question, documents it with primary sources, grades every claim, and stays connected to live data so you can see how the story is moving.

CF-002 and CF-003 are a pair. Part 1 lays out the state of AI and public sentiment, and Part 2 turns to the labs building it.

How a case file works

Step 1Primary sources first

Official documents, original posts with archive copies, and polls with published methods. Secondary reporting is labeled.

Step 2Every claim graded

Claims are attributed to whoever made them and graded from Verified to Corrected. Self-reported claims are labeled.

Step 3Live signal attached

Each file connects to the news and social feeds, refreshed every three hours. Anything older than 72 hours is tagged.

Step 4Corrections stay on record

When the evidence changes, the grade changes, and the update is logged here.
