One evidence standard for everyone.

Political neutrality

We do not choose conclusions to create artificial balance. We apply the same verification process regardless of who benefits from the result.

Source transparency

Readers should be able to inspect the evidence. Reviews identify primary records, credible reporting, relevant dates, and important limitations.

Fact and analysis

Verified facts, reasonable interpretations, unresolved disputes, and editorial analysis are labeled separately. Headlines must accurately reflect the underlying evidence.

Responsible AI assistance

AI may help organize questions, locate potential sources, compare documents, and explain evidence. AI output is not treated as a source, and citations must lead to inspectable material.

Conflicts and funding

Material conflicts, sponsorships, partnerships, and funding relationships that could affect reader trust will be disclosed publicly.

Corrections

Substantive corrections are dated and explained. CommonProof does not quietly erase material mistakes.
