MethodologyHow It Works

The Arc-Hives Index analyzes factual claims in news reporting and tracks whether they can be confirmed against primary source documentation.

Primary Sources, Not Repetition

We don't verify a claim by counting how many outlets reported it. We look for the document, transcript, or official record that would confirm it. If that evidence doesn't exist, the claim stays unverified.

Evidence Trails, Not Just Verdicts

Every analysis shows you exactly what sources were consulted, what evidence was found, and why the verdict was reached. You can follow the reasoning yourself.

History That Doesn't Disappear

Claims are stored permanently. If new evidence surfaces, a new analysis is added — the old one stays. You can see how a story's factual record has evolved over time.

Why this is different

Most systems ask: "Has anyone else reported this?"
Arc-Hives asks: "What must be true for this claim to hold — and is that confirmed?"

A claim can be repeated across dozens of outlets and still have no primary source backing it. "Unverifiable" doesn't mean false — it means the evidence required to confirm it doesn't exist in the record yet.

Legal clarity

The Arc-Hives Index evaluates claims, not people or institutions. Results are evidence-based, time-bound, and may change as new primary documentation becomes available.
