Lies spread fasterthan the truth.
Polygraph gives you the fact-fighting superpowers to stop them
The problem
We are at war with bad information.
Low information
People repeating what they never looked up.
Misinformation
False things, spread by people who believe them.
Disinformation
Campaigns, coordinated, pushed through networks on purpose.
All three land on the same people: the ones with the least time to check. And all three are growing.

What Polygraph finds
Six things, in every post.
A post isn’t true or false. Its claims are.
Each checkable claim is pulled out and checked on its own.
True, false, mixed. Or we can’t tell.
Four verdicts, each with its confidence and the findings that led to it. “We can’t tell” is an answer, and often the most useful one.
Sources you can defend in the room.
Every source is rated for factuality and lean. Government records and the most reliable outlets count for more.
How the post is built to persuade.
Blame without evidence, borrowed authority, a true fact carrying three false ones. Polygraph names the technique, so you can too.
because of the new administration. Nobody is talking about it.
The claim that keeps coming back.
The same claim in a new mouth is matched to the one already checked, so you see a claim’s history and how far it has travelled.
What to say back.
A short reply written from the verdicts and the sources, ready to post under the original or send to whoever shared it.
Who it’s for
For anyone who has to be right before they repeat it.
Engaged readers
Check the post before you share it, and see exactly which parts held up.
