About CredMeter

CredMeter indexes statements that public and industry figures make to the public, quotes each one verbatim, and compares it against documentary evidence. When a statement conflicts with the record, it is published as a lie — outright or misleading — with the evidence cited alongside it. CredMeter also tracks how often each tracked person is caught, on a rolling and lifetime basis.

CredMeter is not a general fact-checking portal, an opinion tracker, or a 0–100 credibility score. It does not rate tone, sincerity, or character. A statement is published only when it can be checked against a specific, citable source — see the methodology for the full standard.

Every published entry passes four tests before it goes live: it is attributed to a named individual, backed by a verbatim source for the statement itself, contradicted by at least one primary or official document, and — for high-impact claims — supported by independent evidence from more than one domain. No claim is published automatically; a human editor reviews it first.

Coverage depends on the sources in CredMeter's register and is uneven across topics, time periods, and individuals. Absence from the ledger is not an endorsement — it means a checkable, contradicted statement has not yet been indexed, not that a person has never lied.
