How It Works
The SHREDNEWZ method for evidence-first reporting.
Start with this flow
Read first
Start with the story itself so you know what happened before opening deeper tools.
Check the proof
Open the proof layer to see claims, sources, and what still needs stronger support.
Follow changes
Use updates, corrections, and forecasts to see what moved after the first report.
What the main scores mean
Importance
How much the story could affect people, institutions, markets, or daily life.
Evidence strength
How well the core claims are supported by sources, documents, or direct reporting.
Framing pressure
How much the story is being pushed by strong wording, competing narratives, or missing context.
How we test a story
A first pass pulls out the key facts, sources, and claims.
A second pass looks for weak spots, missing context, and contradictions.
Stories with weak support or higher risk should be slowed down, checked again, or corrected.
If support is weak, risk is high, or the story is moving too fast, it should be reviewed again instead of being presented as settled.
How to read the labels
Directly supported by reporting, documents, data, or attributable quotes.
A reasoned read based on the evidence we have now, but not yet a settled fact.
A forward-looking call that should include assumptions, what could change it, and how it will be judged later.
You stay in control
The site should make stories easier to inspect, not harder to question. Read the story, check the support, compare views, and decide how strong the case really is.
