How We Verify the News
Every story in your MyRadar digest goes through a multi-step AI verification pipeline. Here's exactly how it works — no black boxes, no hand-waving.
Multi-Source Ingestion
We continuously monitor hundreds of news sources across regions and languages. Stories are collected from wire services, major outlets, regional publications, and specialized press.
Sources span the political and editorial spectrum to minimize bias in our collection. We prioritize editorial outlets with established track records.
Story Clustering
Our AI groups articles covering the same event into clusters. This identifies when multiple independent newsrooms are reporting on the same story — a key signal of reliability.
We use semantic similarity rather than keyword matching, so stories in different languages or with different headlines about the same event are correctly grouped.
Cross-Reference Analysis
For each story cluster, AI analyzes the factual claims across sources. It identifies points of agreement, contradiction, and unique details that only appear in one source.
The analysis weighs source independence — two articles from the same wire service count less than two articles from independent reporters on the ground.
Corroboration Scoring
Each story receives a score from 1 to 10 based on source count, source diversity, factual consistency, and the presence of primary sourcing (eyewitness accounts, official statements, documents).
Stories with a single source or significant contradictions are flagged with a low-confidence warning so you know to treat them with extra scrutiny.
Summary Generation
AI generates a neutral, fact-focused summary that synthesizes information from all sources in the cluster. The summary aims to present what is known, what is disputed, and what remains unconfirmed.
Summaries link back to original sources so you can always verify claims against the reporting yourself.
Personalized Delivery
Your digest is assembled based on your chosen topics and geographic zones, then delivered via your preferred channel — web, email, or WhatsApp.
Stories are ordered by relevance to your interests and corroboration strength, so the most reliable stories about topics you care about appear first.
Understanding Corroboration Scores
Highly Corroborated
Reported consistently across 3+ independent sources with aligned facts.
Moderately Corroborated
Reported by multiple sources but with some variation in details or framing.
Low Corroboration
Limited sourcing or significant discrepancies between reports. Read with caution.
Our Commitment to Transparency
We are not fact-checkers
MyRadar measures how widely and consistently a story is reported — not whether it is "true" or "false." A high corroboration score means multiple independent sources agree on the facts. It does not mean the story is guaranteed to be accurate.
AI has limitations
Our AI can misinterpret nuance, satire, or culturally specific context. We continuously improve our models, but no automated system is perfect. Always consult original sources for critical decisions.
Original sources are always linked
Every story in your digest links back to the original reporting. We encourage you to read the source material and form your own judgment. We summarize — you decide.
