How this Truth Audit works
Every verdict is evidence-weighted by source credibility × reviewer independence. A claim only earns “Verified” when at least two independent sources confirm it through their own testing or measurement — echoing the manufacturer’s marketing does not count.
Sources tagged as affiliate-conflicted, sponsored, incentivized, or manufacturer-owned are down-weighted or excluded from corroboration, even when they repeat the same claim.
