Trackers
The claim record, kept in the open.
A running tally of how public figures' statements have measured against the evidence — and how the major policy debates are trending. Everyone is tracked by the same standard.
These are records of claims we've checked, not a watchlist. We track figures across every party, and a record reflects what was said — not who said it.
